ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) - a study to identify the immune response to COVID-19 virus. To diagnose the patient taking blood from a vein and is sent to the laboratory. The results show the number of immunoglobulins (antibodies), which indicates the level of the body's immune system.
This antibodies test is carried out according to two indicators:
- IgM antibodies that appear in the first stage of the disease. They can be used to assess whether a person is sick at any given time or not.
- IgG immunoglobulins, which are beginning to be produced in the blood for 7-14 hours and persist after recovery for months, sometimes even years. They say the patient had an infection and the body now has a defense against the virus.
Research indicates the exact number of antibodies and reveals being ill or having a mild form of the disease, as well as asymptomatic carriers.
