Conflict of interest statement

JFRR holds shares and was a Director and Chief Scientific Officer, 2003–13, at Oncimmune, which was spun out from the University of Nottingham, UK, as a company for early diagnosis of cancer using detection of autoantibodies to cancer antigens. In 2020, Oncimmune used the technology platform for measuring antibodies to SARS-COV-2 antigens; JFRR had not been involved in this development. HFS declares no competing interests.
