  1. 1 Antibody levels are calculated as ratios of the sample rate divided by the cutoff (= negative control). A sample is considered non-reactive if the ratio <1, and reactive when the ratio ≥ 1. The assay cutoffs are determined at each run, and vary slightly per assay and over time.
  2. 2 Two-tailed student's t-test.
