Serodiagnostics for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome–Related Coronavirus-2: A Narrative Review 2020-06-04 .txt text/plain 5277 282 38 Accurate serologic tests to detect host antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) will be critical for the public health response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This article discusses key use cases for SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection tests and their application to serologic studies, reviews currently available assays, highlights key areas of ongoing research, and proposes potential strategies for test implementation. Appropriately designed seroepidemiologic studies will play an essential part in the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic by characterizing transmission dynamics, refining disease burden estimates, and providing insight into the kinetics of humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Serologic surveillance studies can also assess the accumulation of persons with antibody responses over time to estimate incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection (57, 58) and can track age-and jurisdiction-specific disease susceptibility and identify at-risk populations (59) . ./cache/cord-275946-ofd2ipvs.txt ./txt/cord-275946-ofd2ipvs.txt
