The P value was calculated using a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test the level of IgM to the RBD protein among these recovered patients also correlated with the S, HR1-HR2, and N proteins (r = 0.67, p < 0.0001; r = 0.56, p < 0.0001; and r = 0.60, p < 0.0001, respectively) (Fig. S6b) . In addition, a positive correlation was also observed between age and IgG level to the RBD, S, HR1-HR2, and N proteins (r = 0.38, P = 0.0077; r = 0.40, P = 0.0055; r = 0.45, P = 0.0017; and r = 0.44, P = 0.0021, respectively; Fig. S7 ), indicating the important role of age in the generation of specific binding antibodies.
