To date, the vast majority of the serological test for SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies are based on serum detection of antibodies to either the viral spike glycoproteins (the major target for neutralising...
A serology test is a powerful tool to be used in epidemiological studies, they help understand viral behaviours and monitor the effectiveness of the different virus control measures as vaccination.
Anti-SARS-CoV-2...
A higher number of vaccines are currently available worldwide, in order to of the herd immunity that will allow us to finally combat the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. These vaccines have been developed...
Serological tests are assays that allow us to detect immunoglobulins in our body, which are antibodies that bind to pathogens in order to fight them. We can identify different types of immunoglobulins,...
Since SARS-CoV-2 spread, causing a worldwide pandemic of disease called Covid-19, It has been studied and learned so much about this virus. Scientists around the world have devoted endless efforts to...

► Immunostep and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) announced the launch of a new serological test that differentiates vaccinated individuals from those who have suffered from Covid-19 natural...
Viruses are constantly changing, they mutate, and those changes produce new variants of the virus, some of them disappear and some of them persist. When a virus suffers a mutation (as it happened with...
The immune system protects us against diseases, this system plays a key role to maintain us healthy because is the responsible of protecting the body from harmful substances, germs, and cell changes....
Why are there different variants of a virus? and how do we stop them? Virus changes help them to survive, the more a virus is circulating in a population and causing infections, the higher is the likelihood...
