Nandakumar V, Profaizer T, Lozier B, Elgort M, Larragoite E, Williams E, et al.
Arch Pathol Lab Med . 2021 Jun; 145(10):1212-1220. PMID: 34181714
Context.—: Emerging evidence shows correlation between the presence of neutralization antibodies (nAbs) and protective immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently available commercial serology assays lack the...

Am J Clin Pathol . 2021 Jun; 156(5):722-727. PMID: 34075393
Objectives: To determine the influence of pH on recovery of analytes in body fluids (BFs), investigate the mechanism of pH interference, measure the frequency of abnormal-pH BFs received, and compare...
