Abstract:

Objective To determine the immunoglobulin G(IgG) and IgM antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) by chemiluminescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Methods A total of 116 patients diagnosed as COVID-19 and 346 patients without COVID-19 were enrolled,and serum SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies were determined by chemiluminescence and ELISA,respectively. Results The sensitivities,specificities and accuracies of chemiluminescence and ELISA determining serum SARS-CoV-2 IgG were 90.52% and 63.79%,98.84% and 96.53%,96.75% and 88.31%,respectively. The sensitivities,specificities and accuracies of determining serum SARS-CoV-2 IgM were 75.86% and 58.62%,99.42% and 97.4%,96.86% and 87.66%,respectively. Conclusions The determinations of serum SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies by chemiluminescence and ELISA have high sensitivities,specificities and accuracies. Clinical laboratories may choose suitable method according to actual situation.
