Assessing the Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutations on Antibody Binding: A Comparative Assessment of the Wuhan and JN.1 Variants’ Full-Length Spikes in a Multiplex Luminex Assay

Both ELISA and Luminex assays showed comparable sensitivity and specificity for both Wuhan and JN.1 antigens, indicating that mutations in the JN.1 variant do not significantly impact assay performance. This suggests preserved antigenic recognition across variants.
