Résumé

Serological tests can be used to detect antibodies in the serum of subject's after SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. Currently, variability in antibody titers and the availability of a multiplicity of serological tests have made it necessary to highlight their appropriateness and limitations in various diagnostic settings. This study is part of Covidiagnostix, a multicenter project aimed at the assessment of the health technology used in SARS-CoV-2 serological tests. Based on data gained from the analysis of over 5000 subjects, a selected number of serum samples, representative of different diagnostic settings, were analyzed first by qualitative immunoassays (IgA, M, and G MILLIPLEX This study evaluated the antibody content and titer of the WHO Standard and serum of subjects with/without previous infection and before/after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2. The definition of antibodies in the WHO standard and the analysis of serum samples allowed for the identification of the appropriateness of serological tests in each diagnostic setting, increasing the effectiveness of the resulting laboratory data. Furthermore, we found that it would be optimal to produce new international standards against the S1 domain and RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for a more effective serological monitoring of vaccination.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Serological tests can be used to detect antibodies in the serum of subject's after SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. Currently, variability in antibody titers and the availability of a multiplicity of serological tests have made it necessary to highlight their appropriateness and limitations in various diagnostic settings.
METHODS METHODS
This study is part of Covidiagnostix, a multicenter project aimed at the assessment of the health technology used in SARS-CoV-2 serological tests. Based on data gained from the analysis of over 5000 subjects, a selected number of serum samples, representative of different diagnostic settings, were analyzed first by qualitative immunoassays (IgA, M, and G MILLIPLEX
RESULTS RESULTS
This study evaluated the antibody content and titer of the WHO Standard and serum of subjects with/without previous infection and before/after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The definition of antibodies in the WHO standard and the analysis of serum samples allowed for the identification of the appropriateness of serological tests in each diagnostic setting, increasing the effectiveness of the resulting laboratory data. Furthermore, we found that it would be optimal to produce new international standards against the S1 domain and RBD of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for a more effective serological monitoring of vaccination.
