Description:
Home blood self-sample on dried blood spot (DBS) to perform COVID-19 serology Serological tests was based on a home self-capillarous blood samples collected by the participants, from a finger prick dried blood spot 903 Whatman paper (DBS) kits, subsequently analyzed in a centralized virology laboratory. At the biobank, DBS cards were punched using a PantheraTM machine (PerkinElmer). The tubes were sent to the virology laboratory (Unité des virus Emergents, Inserm/IRD, Marseille, France), in order to detect IgG antibodies against the spike protein (Euroimmun ELISA-S), and neutralizing antibodies for non-negative ELISA-S.
