Sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion by flow cytometry reveals the presence of nucleoprotein-reactive antibodies in unexposed individuals

Egia-Mendikute et al. develop a multiplexed flow cytometric bead array to simultaneously detect antibodies reactive to three immunogenic SARS-CoV-2 proteins. More sensitive than ELISA, they detected N-reactive antibodies in COVID-19-negative individuals with this assay, showing it to have superior p...
