RAMOS, Hernan Nicole et al. Correlación entre dos metodologías para la medición de anticuerpos contra la proteína spike del coronavirus del Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Grave 2. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.56, n.3, pp.288-292. ISSN 0325-2957.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has several structural proteins including the spike (S) protein, which is the main target of current vaccines. There are various methodologies for the measurement of antibodies against it that provide information about the immune response to vaccination. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between chemiluminescence (CLIA) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for the measurement of IgG anti-S protein (IgG anti-S) antibodies. Serological results were collected from 169 individuals and antibody levels were determined by both methodologies. Out of the total samples, 106 were positive by both methodologies and 15 were discordant (CLIA+, ELISA-), with a Kappa index of 0.80. The correlation between both methodologies was good. This study could contribute to the management and follow-up of the vaccinated population, in order to obtain a cut-off value to evaluate the application of an additional dose.
