Yuval Ishay, Asa Kessler, Asaf Schwarts, Yaron Ilan – 26 August 2020 – The immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome‐corona virus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is comprised of both cellular and humoral arms. While current diagnostic methods are mainly based on polymerase chain reaction, they suffer from insensitivity. Therefore, antibody‐based serologic tests are being developed to achieve higher sensitivity and specificity.
