Effect of prereinfection anti-N S/CO on performance of boosting thresholds in study of detection of SARS-CoV-2 reinfections using nucleocapsid antibody boosting. A) Sensitivity by prereinfection anti-N S/CO using neat and dilutional testing for the unweighted threshold (>1.43); B) sensitivity by prereinfection anti-N S/CO using neat and dilutional testing for the weighted threshold (>2.33). S/CO, signal-to-cutoff ratio.
