Researchers Focus On Testing Antibodies To Battle COVID-19

The researchers of Manhattan's Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have focused their attention to developing COVID-19 tests using antibodies. The tests could provide a more accurate picture of infection and fatality rate, could determine which individuals have high antibody levels that could combat the disease which makes them fit to care for coronavirus patients with minimal to no risk, and most importantly, the antibody-rich blood component (convalescent plasma) of COVID-19 survivors could be donated and transfused to critically ill patients to stimulate their immune systems to fight off the virus.
