SARS-Cov-2 IgG antibody test

Information about the SARS-Cov-2 IgG antibody test

🔵🔵🔵

At BLUE MEDICAL CENTER it is possible to have a blood sample taken for the SARS-Cov-2 IgG II Quant test, the second generation quantitative serological test.

With a venous blood sample, it is possible to evaluate a person’s immune state by quantitatively verifying their IgG antibodies (the test identifies the IgG antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies, for the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the subunit S1 of the Spike protein of SARS-Cov-2 in blood and serum samples).

Why do the test?

It is useful for monitoring the response and duration of a person’s immune response to the vaccine and for evaluating a person’s level of antibodies as a result of the natural response of the organism after contracting the virus, thus monitoring the quantity of antibodies over time.
It allows monitoring the rate of antibodies after overcoming the disease (so you can understand how immune you are)
It is possible to evaluate an individual’s level of antibodies to help in defining the appropriateness and potentiality in case of donation of plasma.

At Blue Medical Center the following are also performed:

First generation Abbott fast swabs to verify who has come into contact with the virus.

Molecular swabs using the PCR method to verify an infection in progress. Required by most airlines and useful for people travelling.

Second and third generation fast swabs, with results available in a few minutes.
