aAssays were done using polystyrene (PS) microtiter wells or streptavidin (SA) coated microtiter wells. The number of sera analyzed is denoted by n.
bThis column represents the mean ratio of S/Co values using SA plates to S/Co values using PS plates; the cut-off values were 0.31 and 0.28 for PS and SA, respectively, in the IgG assay, and 0.23 and 0.25, respectively, in the IgM assay. The 95% confidence interval is indicated in parentheses.
cPercent Sensitivity = (Number of sera that scored positive by our test/Number of sera that scored positive using PanBio ELISAs) × 100
dPercent Specificity = (Number of sera that scored negative by our test/Number of sera that scored negative using PanBio ELISAs) × 100
