Antibody Responses to SARS-CoV-2 Infection—Comparative Determination of Seroprevalence in Two High-Throughput Assays versus a Sensitive Spike Protein ELISA
Robust assay development for SARS-CoV-2 serological testing requires assessment of asymptomatic and non-hospitalised individuals to determine if assays are sensitive to mild antibody responses. Our study evaluated the performance characteristics of two high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 IgG nucleocapsid ass...
