Table 3A.

Rates of positive results (sensitivity) of 5 commercial assays for SARS-CoV-2 antibodiesa. Anti–SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) EUROIMMUN and Anti–SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgA) EUROIMMUN were not considered separately. Rather, the combination of both tests was evaluated.

a

The cells contain absolute numbers and percentages in brackets.

b

If less than 10 samples were available for a specific day, samples from several days were combined. The displayed day number is then the mean for the group.

c

The Anti–SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) EUROIMMUN and Anti–SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgA) EUROIMMUN were not considered separately. Rather, the combined test was considered positive if any of the tests was positive.

d

There are 6 less samples for LIASON SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG, the number of samples for this test are in brackets in the second column.
