Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in early December 2019, in Wuhan city, the capital city of Hubei Province. This virus spread easily and rapidly worldwide. A lot of serology testing for COVID-19 are now available, and very powerful tools to understand the immune response to SARS-CoV-2, vaccine efficacy, hard immunity among communities, and so on. However, there remains several uncertainties about serology testing, compared to the direct virus detection test, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and antigen test. In this chapter, we introduce the current understanding of serological testing for COVID-19 to clarify how to use and select during the COVID-19 pandemic.
