    Antibodies have been in the news a lot over the past year.\u00a0 The presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 can indicate that an individual had a COVID infection.\u00a0 Vaccines were given emergency approval in part because they resulted in a large antibody response.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Antibodies are proteins that adhere to the antigens on the surface of a pathogen.\u00a0 This is a specific fit, like a key in a lock.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
