AT)--Another good reason to donate blood….the state’s top blood center announced Monday it will resume free antibody testing on all donations effective immediately. Oklahoma Blood Institute has a test that can measure the antibodies generated from a natural COVID-19 infection rather than from vaccine response. OBI previously performed nearly 300,000 such tests from July 2020 through May 2021, but halted the screenings because demand for convalescent plasma and case numbers were declining and vaccinations were increasing. When the organization last tested for antibodies, it found a 16% positivity rate among donors. Jolianne Stone, the state epidemiologist, said testing is a way for patients to know whether they have antibodies, but research is still ongoing about what positive tests mean in relation to immunity levels.
