Has the utility or the role of antibody testing changed or evolved in any way for you over the past months or since the pandemic began?
(04:06)
What do we know about the antibody response to the virus and how is our knowledge grown in that area? I think one question that people have is do we all make antibodies to the virus and how long do those antibodies last, and will they protect us from re-infection?
(06:41)
You mentioned briefly there's a neutralizing antibody test that recently received FDA emergency use authorization. Can you tell us a little bit about that and how you envision that test being used?
(10:33)
Can we reach herd immunity based on natural infection alone?
(11:56)
Once we have a vaccine, do you envision antibody testing being used to confirm that vaccination was successful? That people develop an antibody response because of the vaccine?
(14:10)
And would you say, out of all the antibody tests, how many of them are spike — that detect antibodies to the spike protein? It's all of them, right?
