People develop antibodies in response to an infection like COVID-19 disease. These antibodies can tell you if you may have developed an immunity to COVID-19. This ground-breaking test from Roche identifies the presence of all 3 antibodies, IgG, IgM, and IgA, as opposed to just one or two. That is why it’s named the “Total Antibody Test.”
Following exposure to the virus, it could take 2–14 days for someone to become symptomatic, with most people showing symptoms just 4–5 days after exposure.
Antibody testing helps give healthcare providers a better picture of a patient’s exposure history, regardless of past symptoms or severity, with 100% sensitivity by Day 14 (post-positive PCR test results).
