Results: Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies in the New York Metropolitan Area
From the 51,829 individuals screened, 19,763 individuals screened as positive and 32,063 individuals screened as negative. Of the positive individuals, 505 (2.56%) had a titer of 1:80, 943 (4.77%) of 1:160, 4391 (22.23%) of 1:320, 6272 (31.75%) of 1:960 and 7641 (38.68%) of 1:2880. Titers of 1:80 and 1:160 were categorized as low titers, 1:320 as moderate, and 1:960 and ≥1:2880 as high titers. From these results, the researchers deduced that majority of positive individuals have moderate to high titers of anti-spike antibodies.
