Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies in the New York Metropolitan Area

As of July 2nd 2020, 51,629 individuals were screened by the Mount Sinai Health System to recruit volunteers for convalescent plasma therapy. The individuals screened either had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections by PCR, or suspected disease, defined as a physician attributing suspected symptoms to SARS-CoV-2 or exposure to someone infected with SARS-CoV-2.
In order to determine the parameters of a viable candidate for volunteering, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was administered to the participants. Those with titers greater than or equal to 1:80 were considered to have undergone seroconversion.
