SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies

High levels of the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies biomarker in your blood could indicate that your body has previously encountered the virus that causes COVID-19 and has produced these specific proteins, or antibodies, to fight it off. These antibodies are like your body's own specialized army, produced only when this particular virus invades your system. However, it's crucial to understand that the presence of these antibodies doesn't automatically mean you're immune to future COVID-19 infections. Certain medications, such as immunosuppressants, could potentially affect the levels of these antibodies in your system. High levels could also be a sign of a recent or ongoing infection, as your body ramps up its defenses.

Symptoms of high levels of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies may not be apparent, as these antibodies are typically a response to a past infection. However, if the high levels are due to a current infection, you may experience symptoms associated with COVID-19, such as fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, and fatigue.

Low levels of the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies could mean that your body hasn't encountered the COVID-19 virus before, so it hasn't had to make these specific antibodies, or 'soldiers', to fight it off. It could also mean that you had the virus a long time ago and your body has stopped producing these antibodies because it doesn't need them anymore. Certain medications, like immunosuppressants, could also potentially lower your body's ability to produce these antibodies. However, low levels don't necessarily mean you're more susceptible to getting COVID-19, as your body can start producing these antibodies again if it needs to.

Symptoms of low levels of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies are not typically noticeable, as this is a measure of past infection rather than current illness.
