SPIKE PROTEINS.
Spike proteins are part of the virus. Covid antibody tests typically test for the spike since both the vaccines and the virus will create antibodies to it.

SPIKE PROTEINS.”
The spike protein is what gives the coronavirus family of viruses their name. The spikes jut out from the surface of the spherical virus, giving it a crown-like halo, hence “corona”. We have also known for a long time that the spike protein is the business end of these viruses, it is what gives the virus its ability to target, latch onto, and enter the cells that it infects. Mutations in the spike protein are also what determine different variants of SARS-CoV-2, and can alter its ability to infect and cause harm.
