Covidkon: The importance of determination of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2

In her lecture at the 1st Czecho-Slovak Covid-19 Conference MUDr. Hana Zelená, Ph.D. focuses on antibodies as more reliable evidence of past infection and subsequent immune response than just PCR positivity. In addition, antibodies demonstrate a past immune response to the infection. With the more sensitive VNT method, we reliably detect neutralizing antibodies in some people after infection, even though they have a negative IgG immunochemical result (EIA, CLIA) at the same time.
