COVID Antibody Test basics.
Whenever our body encounters a new virus, it launches an immune response to challenge the virus. The immune response produces antibodies against the incoming virus. These antibodies are virus-specific.
Thus, when a person got infected with COVID-19, body produces COVID antibodies. A person may be either symptomatic or asymptomatic.
COVID antibody test is done to detect these antibodies. The presence of these antibodies indicate the previous infection with COVID-19. The presence of COVID antibodies also indicates relative immunity and better protection from COVID-19.
