04/30/2020 15:14 GMT — Coronavirus antibody test approved in the US and Europe


Pharmaceutical company Abbott have developed a test to detect if person has had COVID-19. The test, they say, has 100% sensitivity and 99.6% specificity.

The test measures immunoglobulin G antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. These are antibodies that the body produces in the later stages of infection. They can persist in the body for several weeks.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the test for use in the United States, and the European Union have approved it in Europe.

Don't totally believe what the media says. I have personal experience with working of such test, or related techniques for years. unless your quality of antibody/batch of it is damn solid and has years of being established in the industry. a lot of time kit developed in such a rush often gives ambiguous results. sometimes you buy the same antibody from the very same company, just different batches only it goes haywire.
