Sensitive Detection of SARS-CoV-2–Specific Antibodies in Dried Blood Spot Samples

Sensitive Detection of SARS-CoV-2–Specific Antibodies in Dried Blood Spot Samples

Dried blood spot (DBS) samples can be used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike antibodies. DBS sampling is comparable to matched serum samples with a relative 98.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Thus, DBS sampling offers an alternative for population-wide...
