It is impossible to determine the likelihood of re-infection with coronavirus after vaccination with an accuracy of 100%, but the Architect II test from Abbot allows you to qualitatively recognize the presence of immunity to COVID-19, said Anch Baranova, professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University.
The Architect II test was tested by laboratory neutralization of coronavirus with 20 plasma samples from vaccinated and recovered and measures the amount of antibodies as quickly as possible.As the biologist writes in his Instagram, if the test shows 1300 units of antibodies, then a person is almost definitely protected from both the standard version of COVID-19 and Indian strain “Delta”.
If the level is less than 500 units, then it is necessary to revaccinate.A level between 500 and 1300 units indicates that there is only protection for the severe form of the disease, the professor writes. As noted by Baranova, most polyclinic tests are ineffective, since they are focused on the N-protein and after vaccination they always show the absence of antibodies.
“That is why both doctors and patients end up in the networks of anti-vaccines, because they can clearly see from the tests that the vaccine does not work. This is especially true in the regions, ”the professor says.
According to the biologist, Abbott's Architect II tests have been in use in Russia for a month.
Earlier, Baranova said that the Indian strain of coronavirus is distinguished by its ability to quickly infect the lungs.
