- Area under the Receiver Operating characteristic Curve (A-ROC curve) [ Time Frame: 0 hour ]Area under the Receiver Operating characteristic Curve will be used to determine the optimum clinical sensitivity and specificity. Results will be generated from subject's blood collected at different collection time points.
