In-house assays for detecting anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in serum and urine: Correlation with COVID-19 severity from a cohort study in Qatar
The developed in-house assay demonstrated robust performance and versatility, offering a cost-effective and scalable alternative to commercial kits. Their ability to detect antibodies in both serum and urine highlighted their potential as non-invasive diagnostic tools. These findings contribute to advancing sero-diagnostic capabilities, improving understanding of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, and supporting global efforts to monitor and manage COVID-19 effectively.
