The Importance of Neutralizing Antibodies
Neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) produced by a SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination are not only responsible for blocking the entry of COVID-19 into a cell so that it is unable to infect healthy cells, but they also prevent the virus from replicating and causing further severe infection. Binding or IgG antibodies only tell us if we have had a response to a COVID-19 infection but they do not indicate how effective our immune response may be. Because our bodies develop nAbs that are specific to a particular pathogen, MedArbor’s nAb Test detects the amount of COVID-19 specific nAbs in your system. These nAbs bind directly to the spike protein which can potentially help reduce COVID-19 from infecting new cells. That is how and why nAbs provide a better measure of COVID-19 resistance than a general binding antibody test.
