Antibodies Sentences Resources The survey: We followed a protocol similar to the first round (Round 1) in September 2020[17] to estimate the fraction of the population with active infection and IgG antibodies at the time of the survey. IgGsuggested: NoneFor IgG antibody testing, we collected 4 ml of venous blood, centrifuged it, transported the serum to the laboratory while maintaining a cold chain, and detected SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies using a commercial, ICMR-approved, ELISA-based test kit (Covid Kavach Anti SARS-Cov-2 IgG antibody detection ELISA, Zydus-Cadila, India) [25] following the manufacturer’s instructions. SARS-CoV-2-specific IgGsuggested: NoneAnti SARS-Cov-2 IgGsuggested: NoneResults from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
