Hey everyone,
If you're wondering how to get your SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels tested, here's what I did:
Here in the US, the best option I could find is this specific test at Labcorp:
SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Profile, Nucleocapsid and Spike
Test # 160236
1/
It has to be this *specific* Labcorp test - # 160236.
I've had other antibody tests done, both at Labcorp and Quest, and none of them gave the level of information I wanted.
(They either cut off at 2500 U/mL, or just say "positive" without giving you a number at all).

Personally, I wanted to know my exact number of anti-spike antibodies, so I could track changes over time.
Labcorp test # 160236 includes a measurement for SARS-CoV-2 Spike Ab Dilution, which allows you to get a much higher numerical value than other tests.
My results here:

I think it's highly possible that high antibody levels could be a sign of SARS-CoV-2 persistence in Long COVID.
I've been tracking mine and seeing them decline as I improve on antiviral treatments

Link to the specific Labcorp test is here! Again it has to be *this one* specifically to get a numerical value!

@TripWorryf503 Can I ask what your LC symptoms have been?
