I also wonder how effective these anti body tests are, and their false negative rate.

In actual trials, has a single one actually been shown to work reliably?

Here in the UK there's a new story every week about how yet another antibody test has been withdrawn or rejected by PHE because it wasn't accurate.

Most studies I've seen did their own validation because of this. Of course this doesn't mean the tests were accurate (or not).
