What is a COVID antibody test?
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved COVID-SeroKlir, a COVID-19 antibody test by Kantaro Bioscience. It helps test for potential immunity and helps determine the exact levels of antibodies in your body. Knowing the levels of antibodies in a human system can help in vaccine development.

FAQ
What does a positive antibody test result mean for COVID-19?
A positive antibody test result means that your immune system produced antibodies against the COVID-19 virus either due to a previous infection or in response to a COVID vaccine.
What is the purpose of COVID-19 antibody or serology tests?
The purpose of COVID-19 antibody or serology tests is to determine if you have antibodies against the virus. This information can help with clinical research and vaccine development. Learn more about testing for a previous COVID infection here.
Does an antibody test show if you have COVID-19?
An antibody test will not show if you have COVID-19. It is designed only to test for past infections by detecting antibodies.
At what point after infection with COVID-19 will there be enough antibodies to be detected in an antibody test?
After an infection with the COVID-19 virus, there will only be enough antibodies to be detected in an antibody test after two to three weeks. So, getting tested too soon will possibly lead to a negative antibody test result.
Why is antibody testing not currently recommended to assess immunity after COVID-19 vaccination?
Antibody testing is not currently recommended to assess immunity after COVID-19 vaccination because it is not authorized to measure the level of protection a vaccine gives based on a person’s immune response. An incorrect interpretation of antibody test results might make people think that they are fully protected and might encourage them to take fewer safety precautions against the virus.
