Comparison of three methods to detect antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To detect IgG and neutralizing antibodies response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine by comparing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), commercial magnetic particle chemiluminescence assay(CLIA) and neutralization test(NT).Methods:ELISA, CLIA and NT were used to detect 143 healthy people before and after 28 days immunization with 2 doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and calculate the positive conversion rate, quantitative results and analysis the consistency of the three methods.Results:The positive conversion rate of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine antibody detected by ELISA, CLIA and NT were respectively 97.9%, 98.6% and 85.3%. The geometric mean of the highest dilution of the serum quantitatively detected by ELISA was 586.6; The mean of CLIA S/CO value was 11.26; The geometric mean titer of the NT was 7.6. The correlation coefficient between ELISA, CLIA and NT were respectively 0.69( P<0.01) and 0.65( P<0.01), and the correlation coefficient between ELISA and CLIA was 0.79( P<0.01). Conclusions:The three methods all detected high levels of antibodies response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunization. ELISA and CLIA are more consistent to detect IgG antibody, and have a good correlation with the quantitative detection results of the NT.
