Serology Tests 血清学检测

Service Description

What Are Serology Tests? Serology tests are specialised blood tests that can detect the antibodies which our body generate as part of our immune response. While our immune system is complex and many factors team up as part of our total defence system, serology remains the practical measurable solution to estimate the strength of our defence against COVID-19 virus. 什么是血清学检测？ 血清学测试是检测身体的血液测试，可以检测我们身体在免疫反应中产生的抗体。虽然我们的免疫系统很复杂，而且许多因素共同构成我们整体防御系统的一部分，但血清学仍然是评估我们对 COVID-19 病毒防御强度的实用可衡量解决方案。 Different Types of Antibodies When challenged by a virus, our body produces antibodies and other types of protective cells. While the presence of N antibodies or the quantity of S antibodies alone does not indicate that the person is immune against infection, it does provide a sense of how our body has responded or is still responding to the vaccine. In addition, a specific type of antibodies that can block viral entry, called neutralizing antibodies (NAb), has been shown to be a good correlate of immune protection. 不同类型的抗体 当我们的身体接触到病毒时，我们的防御或免疫系统会通过产生各种称为抗体的保护性蛋白质以及其他保护性细胞来自然地做出反应。虽然 N 抗体的存在或 S 抗体的数量本身并不表明该人对感染具有免疫力，但它确实提供了我们的身体对疫苗的反应或仍然对疫苗有反应。另一种可以阻止病毒进入的特定类型的抗体称为中和抗体 (NAb) ，它已被证明是免疫保护的良好关联物。 Conclusion Serology tests are useful tools to assess our immune response to the vaccines. While serology guides major pharmaceutical companies when designing vaccine protocols or making vaccine recommendations at the population level designing, it can also shed light for our individual decision making process too. 结论 血清学测试是评估我们对疫苗的免疫反应的有用工具。虽然血清学指导主要制药公司在人群层面设计疫苗方案或提出疫苗建议，但它也可以为我们的个人决策过程提供启示。
