TP, true positives are samples that score positive in each assay and have NT50 >50 (the limit of detection in the neutralization assay). FN, false negatives score negative in serological assays but have NT50>50. TN, true negatives score negative in serological assays and have NT50<50. FP, false positives score positive in serological assays but have NT50<50. %SENS, sensitivity measured as the ration of TP over samples with NT50>50. %SPEC, specificity measured as the ratio of TN over samples that with NT50<50. %PPV, positive predictive value is the ratio of TP over total positive serological assay results. %NPV, negative predictive valus is the ratio of TN over total negative serological assay results.
