But it's excellent news that 11 months later I'm still at the high end of the range.
I wonder if it was boosted by further exposure.

Certainly possible. No way to know, as this was my first quant titer.
My son had COVID last month, but nobody else in the family tested positive on multiple PCRs each.

Anyone else going to take the Roche quant titer (Labcorp test 164090)? Would love to see comps.

Took this, 192.6 U/mL. Anything over 0.8 is considered positive.
The total range is 0.4-250 U/mL.

Curious how this compares to other people who had COVID or had the vaccine. But it's excellent news that 11 months later I'm still at the high end of the range.

NYC Health & Hospitals was using a quantitative Roche antibody test as far back as Sukkos at least, but it doesn't appear to be the same exact test. The cutoff was .99, not .81, and they didn't provide a total range.

How much does the test cost? Does insurance cover?

My father got the Pfizer vaccine and took this test.
Results were >250 U/mL, which is above the max level the test detects.

Could be genetic, since both you and your father have such eleffated antibody levels.

If it's not genetic, what are the odds of such levels? 1 in a thousand?

Just retested my family for antibodies. 7/8 have antibodies, which is consistent with our testing in September. Most of us got Covid in March 2020.

What is the most accurate antibody test?

@Dan is it still Roche 164068?

Yes, for qual.
If you want quant, Roche 164090. But this test takes more time, needs more blood, and potentially costs more.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/landmark-israeli-study-suggests-covid-patients-stay-immune-after-antibodies-fade/

They say that antibody levels spiked for COVID recoverees after their 1st dose (compared to non-recoverees), similar to the 2nd dose boost. What they don't say is how those spikes compare for recoverees whose antibodies waned. If all they did was aggregate the data it shows nothing about the issue in question (per the headline).
