Question 7 0.5 pts John gets infection in his throat as a primary exposure and is very sick on March 15 and he goes to doctor on March 17. Doctor decides to do test and takes John's throat sample and send to lab for testing. Should that test be run for antigen or antibodies ? running antigen will make more sense because antibodies are glycoproteins and it takes time to develop those as there is latent phase of 7-10 days in primary exposure O Running antigen be less effective since antigens must have been taken care by all circulating antibodies running antibody as John's immune system must have produced a lot of antibodies in 2 days because it is first time exposure none of these and doctor should just leave this patient to his own mercy and let his body recover with time
