a) Days post-infection and days post-contact. b) Not calculated because the diagnostic sensitivity is a percentage of samples which are correctly confirmed as antibody-positive among samples which may have antibodies induced by virus infection while the LPBE kit can detect antibodies induced by virus infection as well as antibodies induced by vaccination.
