The two supplied claim-level records describe the Boditech iCHROMA Covid-19 IgG fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) reporting a cutoff index (negative <0.9, indeterminate 0.9β1.1, positive >1.1) using a sandwich immunodetection read on the iCHROMA II device (). Neither record reports plaque-reduction neutralization tests (PRNT), microneutralization, pseudovirus IC50, or any live-virus neutralizing titer. A binding-IgG index and a neutralization titer measure distinct immunological quantities and cannot be legitimately plotted against each other without a co-measured dataset. The correct ARRANGE plan therefore: (1) visualize the iCHROMA data that exist, and (2) flag the missing neutralization axis.
Dataset A β NIBSC external quality control, 33 positive controls (index 19.5β29.0; mean 23.75 Β± 2.53) and 33 negative controls (all 0.00), run July 7βAugust 20, 2020 ():
Dataset B β antibody kinetics: one infected subject (index 5.2 at day 11; 39.1 at day 20; days 20β100 range 26.8β46.7, mean 36.5), 30 convalescent subjects (days 40β90, range 14.0β32.6, mean 20.65, all positive), and 12 vaccinees split by prior infection status ():
These are small, single-platform studies with a declared manufacturer consultancy conflict of interest in the kinetics study; the QC study used pooled reference materials rather than patient samples, with no lot-to-lot or cross-device testing. Binding IgG positivity does not establish neutralizing capacity; correlating iCHROMA index with a neutralization titer would require a cohort where both assays were run on the same specimens β data not present here. Any inferred iCHROMA-to-neutralization correlation from these records would be a hypothesis, not a plotted observation.
