A team of Western researchers has developed a simple test—faster and more accurate than any approved thus far in Canada—to determine who has developed COVID-19 antibodies.
The test could become a pivotal tool to help identify and determine immunity, whether from previous infection or from vaccination.
Developed by professor Shawn Li, Canada Research Chair in Proteomics and Functional Genomics, his colleagues at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and collaborators at the University of Toronto, the antibody agglutination test can be completed in five minutes.
