	Colloidal gold antibody detection kit	r-SARS-CoV-2-N based IgG ELISA	Total
	Colloidal gold antibody detection kit	Positive Negative	Total
Positive	174	0	174
Negative	6	182	188
Total	180	182	362

χ² = 3.702, p > 0.05
The sensitivity and specificity of the SARS-CoV-2-N IgG ELISA compared to the Colloidal gold antibody detection kit
a) (The number of positive samples detected by both methods + the number of samples determined to be negative by both methods)/the total number × 100
b) True positive (true positive + false negative) ×100
c) True negative (true negative – false positive) × 100
