We addressed the suitability of EDTA-anticoagulated whole blood as an alternative sample material for antibody testing against SARS-CoV-2 by electro-CLIA (ECLIA; Roche, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) and ELISA (IgG and IgA; Euroimmun, Germany). In receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, all three assays displayed comparable diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve (AUC)) using corrected whole blood and serum (AUCs: 0.97 for ECLIA and IgG ELISA; 0.84 for IgA ELISA). It can thus be concluded that the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody results in whole blood corrected for hematocrit with weakly and moderately positive findings are comparable to those obtained from serum.	./cache/cord-334277-g3go3u02.txt	./txt/cord-334277-g3go3u02.txt
