Where are you getting low specificity for antibody tests? Most I’ve seen are 98+% with lower sensitivities.

- ejstronge 6y agoAh, I'd be quite interested seeing your 98+% specificity antibody! Looking at the three out of four FDA EUA-approved serology tests (see https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/emergency-use-authorizations#covid19ivd https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-med...) most do not report sensitivities up to 98%, with the notable exception of Ortho Vitro, though the diversity of the samples they test isn't described. 1.
