A Powerful Solution for More Accurate COVID-19 Antibody Detection
Detect COVID-19 Antibodies for a More Complete Antibody Profile
Research has identified five antibodies, which are developed in response to portions of two COVID-19 antigens, that may be useful for providing a broader picture of the humoral response.
About two weeks after infection, antibodies will present at detectable levels. Many COVID-19 antibody tests are designed to detect 1-2 antibodies, which can indicate whether a patient has been exposed to the virus and may provide sufficient information for the general population.
However, transplant patients and potential living donors need more clarity. A broader view of the immune response may clarify whether the patient has developed protective antibodies to the COVID-19 virus and may reveal if the patient's HLA antibody profile has changed, as can happen with similar viral infections(1).
