    Hi, Can some advise on the correct Labcorp and/or Quest lab test code to determine spike protein Antibodies? Referenced during Scotts presentation. Thank you

    This info taken from Scot Marsland’s April 2023 Conference slides.

    SARS CoV-2 Antibody Profile, Nucleocapsid and Spike CPT: Test Code: 160236 and 86769×2

    Non-fasting, LabCorp ONLY (NOT QUEST)

    LabCorp will check semi-quant, and if >250 U/ml, will perform a reflex dilution level.

    Levels can vary between <0.8 U/ml and > 25,000 U/ml.

    Hope this helps.

      I ordered a test for a patient with suspected vaccine injury. What level would be high enough to indicate vaccine injury?

        Hi Ratrph

        I did a little looking up and found this:

        “There is no specific level of antibodies in the LabCorp SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Profile (Test Code 160236) that directly indicates vaccine injury. This test is not designed or intended to diagnose vaccine injuries.

        The SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Profile measures antibodies against two different parts of the virus:

        1. Nucleocapsid (N) protein antibodies: These indicate prior natural infection with SARS-CoV-2.
        2. Spike (S) protein antibodies: These can result from either natural infection or vaccination.

        The primary purpose of this test is to evaluate for evidence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated individuals, particularly to aid in diagnosing conditions like Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C) or adults (MIS-A).

        It’s important to note that antibody levels alone cannot determine vaccine efficacy or injury. The FDA has explicitly stated that “antibody testing should not be used to evaluate a person’s level of immunity or protection from COVID-19 at any time, and especially after the person received a COVID-19 vaccination”.

        Additionally, the components of a protective immune response against SARS-CoV-2 have not been fully characterized, and the relationship between antibody levels and immunity is still being studied.

        If you have concerns about a possible vaccine injury, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider. They can evaluate your complete medical history, symptoms, and other relevant factors, rather than relying solely on antibody test results.”

        Hope this helps, and of course, if anyone has anything more to add, please do.

          Thanks for your reply. In videos, both Dr. Kory and Scott Marsland have discussed high antibody levels in vaccine injured patients. I am trying to decide if I should refer my patient to someone experienced in treating vaccine injuries.

            I watched this video and at about 20 mins in Scott talks about what you’re asking about. You mention – SARS-CoV-2 Spike Ab 8598 U/mL for your patient. He commented that for some who are above 25000, they’re not symptomatic, but everyone’s different. And Dr Kory noted he has a very sick patient who has a 0 spike antibody level. Everybody’s different.

            So if you’re questioning, ‘I am trying to decide if I should refer my patient to someone experienced in treating vaccine injuries.’ the answer is probably, yes.

    Curious if you got the test and your level? Assuming received the shots?

      The patient received at least 2 shots.

      SARS-CoV-2 Spike Ab 8598 U/mL; interpretation: positive

      Insufficient specimen to test #164069 SARS-Cov-2 Ab, Nucleocapsid

      Thanks in advance for any input.
