No it is looking for antibodies which are part of the human body’s defence against viruses, the bumps on the virus can have antibodies attached to them which stop them from entering cells and make them easier to attack and destroy, the problem is that many of these antibodies are very similar an they resemble antibodies for fighting the common cold so the test need to check for antibodies which specifically relate to COVID 19.
