unc researchers create new type of accurate covid-19 antibody test
the test can be ramped up to document past and recent covid-19 infections and possibly used to identify asymptomatic virus infection and the level of immunity in individuals.", "therefore, antibodies against this domain are likely to be highly specific to sars-cov-2, and so these antibodies reveal if an individual has been exposed to the virus that can cause covid-19.", "our assay is extremely specific for antibodies to the virus that causes covid-19, which is not the case for some currently available antibody tests, said co-senior author aravinda de silva, professor of microbiology and immunology and member of the unc institute for global health and infectious diseases.", 


































"the researchers, who published their work in science immunology, created a blood test to pinpoint sars-cov-2 antibodies that target one unique piece of the sars-cov-2 spike protein.")
