NEW YORK — The US Food and Drug Administration last week granted Emergency Use Authorization for an ELISA-based SARS-CoV-2 antibody test developed by South Korea's LG Chem.
The AdvanSure SARS-CoV-2 IgG(S1) is designed for the qualitative detection of immunoglobulin G to SARS-CoV-2 in human and plasma samples to help identify individuals with an adaptive immune response to the virus.
Use of the test is limited to labs CLIA-certified to perform high-complexity tests, according to the FDA. It should only be used with samples from individuals who are 15 days or more past symptom onset.
