COVID-19 diagnosis is commonly performed by PCR testing, however, serologic methods are more accurate and versatile for monitoring disease burden and epidemiology. Here the authors report a protein microarray with antigens from SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV as well as common human respiratory viruses.
