With the informed consent of the first study phase or after obtaining informed consent from all new participants of an already participating family and/or their legal guardian(s), a sample of peripheral venous blood was collected. SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were detected in all samples by using a commercially available chemiluminescent immunoassay technology for the quantitative determination of anti-S1 and anti-S2 specific IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (Diasorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG Assay).
Liaison sars cov 2 s1 s2 igg assay
The LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG assay is a laboratory equipment product that detects the presence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The assay measures the levels of IgG antibodies targeting the S1 and S2 subunits of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Quantification

Seroprevalence and RT-PCR Screening for SARS-CoV-2
Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 among RHCC personnel was conducted onsite using Allplex™ 2019-nCoV Assay RT-PCR (Seegene, Seoul, Korea).
Quantitative Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies
Comparative Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Assays
First, chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology for the quantitative determination of anti-S1 and anti-S2 specific IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was used: Diasorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG Assay. Antibody levels > 15.0 AU/mL were considered positive and levels between 12.0 and 15.0 AU/mL were considered equivocal.
Second, an ELISA detecting IgG against the S1 domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, Euroimmun Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA, was used; a ratio < 0.8 was considered negative, 0.8–1.1 equivocal, > 1.1 positive.
Third, chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) intended for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2, Abbott Diagnostics ARCHITECT SARS-CoV-2 IgG, was used. This assay relies on an assay-specific calibrator to report a ratio of specimen absorbance to calibrator absorbance. The interpretation of result is determined by an index (S/C) value, which is a ratio over the threshold value. An index (S/C) of < 1.4 was considered negative, ≥ 1.4 was considered positive.

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Questionnaire and Assays
A blood sample was taken from each participant and centrally processed and stored at the Institute of Laboratory Medicine in Olten. Analyses were made at the Institute for Infectious Diseases (IFIK) of the University of Bern. Blood samples were run on the Abbott ARCHITECT i2000 instrument using the Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay (Abbott Diagnostics, Chigago, US) and the Liaison SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG assay (DiaSorin, Saluggia, Italy) following the manufacturer's instructions. The Abbott assay is a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay for qualitative detection of IgG in human serum or plasma against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein [8] (link). The Liaison SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 is a chemiluminescence assay consisting of paramagnetic microparticles coated with S1 and S2 fragments of the viral surface spike protein. It is used for the qualitative detection of IgG in human serum or plasma against the SARS-CoV-2 [7] (link).
Comparative Antibody Detection Assays for SARS-CoV-2
The Abbott Architect SARS-CoV-2 IgG Assay used to detect antibodies (IgG) to SARS-CoV-2 has a sensitivity and specificity of 93% and 100%, respectively.
The Fortress Diagnostics COVID-19 Total Antibody Assay has a sensitivity range of 94 to 95.4% and a specificity of 100%.
The DiaSorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG assay has, at greater than 15 days post COVID-19 diagnosis, a sensitivity of 97.9% and a clinical specificity of 98.6%.
SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Detection
The sensitivity of the test as reported by the manufacturer is 90.4% (79.4–95.8%) while the specificity is 98.5% (97.5–99.2%).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
