AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. announced their publication in collaboration with researchers at Arizona State University (ASU) entitled, “Third COVID-19 Vaccine Dose Boosts Neutralizing Antibodies in Poor Responders” in Communications Medicine, part of the Nature family of journals. AXIM and ASU performed a clinical study using their co-developed rapid test and discovered that even after two doses, COVID-19 RNA vaccines were unable to elicit high levels of neutralizing antibodies in 25% of vaccine recipients. However, a third vaccine dose rescued these “vaccine poor responders”, boosting their neutralizing antibodies to levels that are highly protective within two weeks of receiving a third dose.

The rapid 10-minute test quantitatively measures levels of neutralizing antibodies in a finger stick drop of blood.
