  • Publication number: 20230358746
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an assay for detecting if a subject is seropositive for SARS-CoV-2, or not, comprising incubating a biological sample from the subject with uninfected cells and SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, where the uninfected cells and the SARS-CoV-2-infected cells are distinguishable from each other, to form an admixture, and determining an amount of antibodies in the biological sample bound to the uninfected cells and to the SARS-CoV-2-infected cells, thereby determining whether the subject whose biological sample was tested is seropositive for SARS-CoV-2, or not.
