The physical structure of an antibody allows it to bind to a specific antigen, such as bacterial or viral proteins, [6] to form a complex. [7] Because antibodies are highly specific in what they bind, tests can detect specific antibodies by replicating the antigen which that antibody binds to.
By June and beyond, Abbott will be shipping 20 million tests to the U.S. per month, according to the report.The digital device maker’s third Covid-19 test, or IgG antibody test, is different ...
