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. In the context of an ongoing pandemic, it is essential to externally validate widely used tests to as...
