Agreement between commercially available ELISA and in-house Luminex SARS-CoV-2 antibody immunoassays
Abstract Serological diagnostic of the severe respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a valuable tool for the determination of immunity and surveillance of exposure to the virus.
