Brief Summary
The COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by WHO more than a year ago, and the world is still experiencing a state of global emergency. This disease is caused by a novel RNA coronavirus suspected to originate in animals like bats and pangolin. Coronaviruses found in humans can be divided into seven classes, and out of them, three, i.e., MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, lead to global outbreaks. SARS-CoV-2 has claimed more than 120 million confirmed global cases of the COVID-19, where more than 26 million fatalities have also been recorded by the mid of March 2021. Many drugs have been repurposed and employed, but no specific antiviral medicine has been approved by the FDA to treat this disease. Although three vaccines have been approved by the FDA, mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 may cause problems in antibody neutralization against the virus. COVID-19 patients have been found either symptomatic or asymptomatic. In most people, the disease was found with mild symptoms with no need for hospitalization, or sometimes patients don't show any symptom. Elderly people and people with compromised health are mainly affected by the disease. Serologic assays involving IgM and IgG antibodies to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 are of great interest as these antibodies can be detected from the second week of the start of COVID-19 symptom's where IgM can be detected after the fourth day of infection and IgG has been found after the eighth day of disease onset. Serologic assays provide quick diagnostic by avoiding PCR false positive/false negative result as well as these provide antibody pattern for estimation of strength and duration of humoral immunity. Here, serologic assays will be used to estimate IgM and IgG antibodies in symptomatic or asymptomatic COVID subjects recovered from the disease.
