Stephen Russell, MD
Mayo Clinic Rochester and Vyriad
Interview Date: May 29, 2020
Antibody testing for the coronavirus is a work in progress. Dr. Stephen Russell, a world renown virologist at the Mayo Clinic and CEO of Vyriad has developed a new type of antibody testing to test not all antibodies, but only those that can neutralize the virus. The new test has now been through the clinical trial process and is available with a prescription from a doctor. In this fascinating show, Dr. Russell describes the need for the test, the way that the test works, how your immune system works to develop antibodies, if patients are likely to get re-infected from COVID-19 and how this virus is similar or different to other viruses like thee common cold or the flu. There is so much to learn about COVID-19 and your immune system in this fascinating show.
