The median MFI readings from three technical replicates per sample were analysed in R, and a positive or negative status was assigned to each serum sample. Positivity or negativity was based on a cutoff MFI value that was determined for each viral NP based on the 99th percentile for MFI values in the German blood bank sample set. Statistically significant differences in seroprevalence rates between the two sample sets and odds ratios were calculated using Fisher’s exact test.
