The liquid portion of the blood (serum or plasma) containing antibodies is separated and tested using the Liason Biotrin parvovirus B19 IgG plus test on a Liason XL analyzer. If parvovirus B19 antibodies are present, they bind to the chemicals and particular particles in the test, producing a light signal.

Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since then, the field of nanomedicine has steadily progressed to reach high points such as the successful use of nanotechnology to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA)-based Covid-19 vaccines. This design protects antibodies from the innate immune system. And the issue is that antibodies are too big to go directly inside the cell,” he says.
