Scientist at Duke University have developed a simple and rapid serological test that could tell doctors how protected a patient is from new variants and those currently circulating in a community and which monoclonal antibodies to use to treat a COVID-19 patient. The new test uses a non-stick polymer brush coating (POEGMA) that stops anything but the desired biomarkers from attaching to a wet test slide.
Test could measure patient immunity against multiple COVID-19 variants such as Omicron and Delta at once and inform which synthetic monoclonal antibody to use f
Biomedical engineers of Duke University have developed a test to quickly and easily assess how well a person s neutralizing antibodies fight multiple variants of COVID-19 like Delta and the new Omicron variant.
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have devised a test to quickly and easily assess how well a person's neutralizing antibodies fight infection from multiple variants of COVID-19 such as Delta and the newly discovered Omicron variant.
A team of researchers has devised a test that could measure patient immunity against multiple Covid-19 variants such as Omicron and Delta at once and inform which synthetic monoclonal antibody to use for treatments. 🍏 Novel Test Identifies Antibody Effectiveness Against Delta and Omicron COVID-19 Variants.
