Testing continues to be a major story—and concern—amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes diagnostic testing to determine if one is infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. It also includes serological tests to determine if a person has antibodies that can signal immunity to COVID-1...
What is initiated by the binding of antibodies to antigens? What are donor-specific antibodies (DSA) and what kinds of antigens do they commonly recognize? Which are the antigens that determine the ABO blood groups in humans? a. "A" b. "B" c. "O" d. All the above e. a and b...
The antibodies that are typically produced are grouped into five major classes (ie, isotypes), and each isotype is designated by a letter attached to an abbreviation of the word immunoglobulin: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. Serological assays are designed to detect specific antibodies to...
Patients who recover from COVID-19 make antibodies to the virus that may impart immunity for at least 6 months; however, breakthrough infections do occur and may be more likely with newly circulating variants of the virus. Immunizing with the latest recommended COVID-19 vaccine can help to ...
