As countries around the world ramp up efforts to vaccinate hundreds of millions of people, Chinese companies that have been making test kits for COVID-19 are shifting focus to a new product expected to be in hot demand worldwide: antibody test kits to evaluate efficacy of vaccines.
Neutralizing antibody detection kits are used to evaluate the immune reaction to the vaccine, but they are not used in the traditional antibody detection process. The former tests are used to detect the neutralizing antibodies produced after a vaccination, while the latter versions are used to detect IgM and IgG antibodies produced spontaneously after an infection, media reports said.
