Antibody kinetics expressed as change from baseline or sensitivity at week 0, 1, 2 and 3 post RT-PCR COVID-19 positivity. Week 0 corresponds to the day of RT-PCR determination and confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. True positivity rates (sensitivity) have been assessed with the cut-offs adapted from our validation and with the cut-off provided by the manufacturer.
