A performance comparison of two (electro) chemiluminescence immunoassays for detection and quantitation of serum anti-spike antibodies according to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infections status.

ABSTRACT: The information provided by SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)-targeting immunoassays can be instrumental in clinical-decision making. We compared the performance of the Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay (Roche Diagnostics) and the LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 TrimericS IgG assay (DiaSorin) using a total of 1176 sera from 797 individuals, of which 286 were from vaccinated-SARS-CoV-2/experienced (Vac-Ex), 581 from vaccinated/naïve (Vac-N), 147 from unvaccinated/experienced (Unvac-Ex), and 162 from unvaccinated/naïve (Unvac-N) individuals. The Roche assay returned a higher number of positive results (907 vs. 790; p = 0.45; overall sensitivity: 89.3% vs. 77.6%). The concordance between results provided by the two immunoassays was higher for sera from Vac-N (ϰ: 0.58; interquartile ranges [IQR]: 0.50-0.65) than for se
