Antibody Response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome- Corona Virus 2, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications.

The immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is comprised of both cellular and humoral arms. While current diagnostic methods are mainly based on polymerase chain reaction, they suffer from insensitivity. Therefore, antibody-based serologic tests are being developed to achieve higher sensitivity and specificity.
