Scientists develop new technique that rapidly quantifies immune response following vaccination

A global team of researchers has developed a new strategy for fast and reliable antibody tests, which can quantify the immune response induced by vaccination and reveal the timeline and stage of pathogen infection [Thursday 4^th February 2021].

Led by Professor Martin Hegner, Principal Investigator in CRANN and Trinity College Dublin’s School of Physics, the team’s one-step quantitative antibody tests are conducted using (blood) serum and are on a par with the gold-standard, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique.
