Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:One of the limitations with our assay is that we are not able to determine functional complement activation, although precise quantitative detection may be able to funnel further investigation. Our approach using multiplex LC-MS/MS could provide a valuable platform to better enable research in this area. Whilst the LC-MS/MS multiplex assay is a research standard assay, it was designed so it can be easily translated for use in a clinical laboratory setting (7). Simply, by changing the bait to a VoC spike protein, our test can be easily modified to determine antibody mediated immune response for current and emerging VoC. The information obtained will allow us to understand in greater detail an individual’s antibody protection or be used in vaccine design. Furthermore this ‘Bait, Capture and Mass Spec’ approach, can also have applications beyond SAR-CoV-2 for other infectious diseases, or even immune response to novel treatments and autoimmunity.
