Detection of neutralizing antibodies against multiple SARS-CoV-2 strains in dried blood spots using cell-free PCR

Neutralizing antibodies are critical for conferring immunity against SARS-CoV-2. Here, Dahn et al. report a PCR assay termed SONIA (Split-Oligonucleotide Neighboring Inhibition Assay) for measuring neutralizing antibodies against multiple SARS-CoV-2 strains in fingerprick dried blood spot samples.
