Evolution of CoV2 prevalence in a cohort of Zurich University Hospital (USZ) patients and donors from the blood donation service (BDS)
(A and B) Inflection points of dilution curves, denoted -log(EC50), of plasma titrated against S and RBD in the USZ and BDS cohorts. Posterior probabilities were calculated using QDA assuming a multivariate Gaussian distribution.
(C) Prevalence of CoV2 seropositivity in prepandemic (before December 2019) and copandemic samples (from December 2019 to December 2020) estimated using the posterior probabilities from the multivariate Gaussian distribution (QDA). Bar: 95% confidence intervals (CI).
(D) TRABI reproducibility was assessed using duplicates run in pairs of independent assay plates.
(E) To assess the potential cross-reactivity of CoV2 seropositive individuals, we tested 200 high-scoring samples and 112 random samples for binding to the RBD of SARS-CoV. CoV2 RBD binders with a high posterior probability (same color maps as in B) segregated within the higher anti-SARS-CoV-RBD titers.
