For example, “Viral antigens and antibodies (typically IgM and IgG) become detectable at different periods during infection…and the detection time…depends on several parameters, such as viral features, individual patient variability and the applied test.” Specificity and sensitivity can be enhanced by using multiple antigens.

The Flu versus COVID-19: Virology and Vaccines SARS-CoV-2 versus Influenza Virology Viruses contain genetic material that can either be RNA or DNA. Both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 have RNA as their genetic material. An RNA genome enables the genetic material to mutate more rapidly. For COVID, it is much the same case.

A genomic analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, shows that the virus accumulates around two mutations a month. The new variant identified in the UK in December shows significant mutations in the Spike protein and receptor binding domain that increase its infectivity.

Next, the advent of antibody treatments in 1997 created the first targeted cancer therapy 2. Later, scientists took advantage of antibodies’ natural tendency to seek out specific antigens and created antibody therapies that guide T cells towards the cells they are supposed to destroy. Identifying the right CAR T cell target.

When exposed to a virus, one’s immune system develops antibodies in response to foreign antigens, with or without a vaccine. One arm of the immune system triggers antibodies, and the other triggers T-cells. Antibodies cover the pathogen of the virus and neutralise it. “On this front, the antibody works very well.
