Sensitivity and specificity of SARS-CoV-2-N-IgG ELISA with reference to the Colloidal gold antibody detection kit

Colloidal gold antibody detection kit r-SARS-CoV-2-N based IgG ELISA Total
Positive Negative
Positive 174 0 174
Negative 6 182 188
Total 180 182 362
Concordance a: 98.3% Sensitivity b: 100% Specificity c: 96.8%

χ2 = 3.702, p > 0.05

The sensitivity and specificity of the SARS-CoV-2-N IgG ELISA compared to the Colloidal gold antibody detection kit

a) (The number of positive samples detected by both methods + the number of samples determined to be negative by both methods)/the total number × 100

b) True positive (true positive + false negative) ×100

c) True negative (true negative – false positive) × 100
