An estimated 25% or more people are asymptomatic for COVID-19. Serology (antibody) tests may thus help public health authorities determine the true prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a population.
But how accurate are these tests? Does the presence of antibodies correlate with protective immunity to the disease, and if so, how long does that immunity last for?
Answering these questions on our live webinar is Prof Sir David Lane. Knighted in 2000 for his contributions to cancer research and the landmark discovery of the p53 cancer gene, Prof Sir David Lane is currently the chief scientist of Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research.
