COVID-19 serological survey using micro blood sampling	2020-10-13		.txt	text/plain	3542	249	60	During August 2020, we carried out a serological survey among students and employees at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), Japan, testing for the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. We used a FDA-authorized 2-step ELISA protocol developed by the Krammer Lab in combination with at-home self-collection of blood samples using a custom low-cost finger prick-based capillary blood collection kit. Among our controls, we found 26 strong cross-reactivity of antibodies in samples from a serum pool from two MERS patients in 27 the anti-SARS-CoV-2-S ELISA.
