FDA Evaluates 5 More COVID-19 Antibody Tests
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, together with the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, have been independently evaluating serology tests that detect the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The post-recovery tests will be especially helpful for people who think they had COVID-19 but weren't able to get a diagnostic test for the virus while they were infected.
Last month, the agencies released data on over a dozen antibody tests, and now they've followed up with data from five additional tests, including three that are no longer being sold in the U.S.
