Nagpur: This is a professional Rushikesh Jirapure gets the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the first week of June and wants to know whether antibodies have developed or not.
He went to the private lab and underwent an IgG-based kit antibody test.
“My results are positive.
The price is RS900, but now I am 100% sure that I have antibodies.
It’s worth paying a sum of money for this additional security,” Jirapure said.
Many laboratories where Kit-based IgG antibody tests have reported a surge in the number of people who come for the test.
This includes both – those who have recovered from Covid-19 and those who have stabbed.
Many people who are too high choose tests after the first dose itself or immediately after the second jab.
“This is a simple kit-based test and therefore people want to do it.
Because more people are vaccinated, demand for antibody tests also rises,” said Dr.
Shailesh Mundhada, Director of Dhruv Lab.
IgG antibodies generally begin to appear after two weeks after infection, so individuals have recovered after infection and lasts for several months.
In terms of vaccination, two weeks are needed the second post to develop detected antibodies.
Dr.
Sandeep Warghade, Bintang Labs Director, said the testing antibodies could add confusion.
“Vaccines can create humoral immunity or cellular immunity in your body.
Humoral immunity can be detected in tests, while cell immunity can not.
This can cause that person to be confused whether he has gained antibodies or not,” said Dr.
Warghade.
“Humoral immunity releases antibodies to fight antigens, while the immunity mediated by cells issue cytokines and not antibodies to attack pathogens.
Humoral immunity is fast or fast in action against antigens, while cell mediated immunity shows delays through permanent actions against any pathogen.
Both are effective.
“Experts said.
Next, there are many kits available on the market and the results can vary.
“There is room for further standardization in an antibody test.
Your test in one laboratory on a particular kit can cause negative, but on another kit, it can be positive.
So, you can always avoid unnecessary testing for antibodies,” said Microbiologist from Sandhya Nikam.
When to test? Why test? No clinical guidelines for doing the results of antibody tests can vary from people-to-person, kit-to-kit, and the time to get an antibody test that is done may not function as an accurate detector every time what is more important now is to follow CUVID appropriate behavior, and get the earliest vaccine jab
