The best kit for antibodies IMO is the Roche kit. LabCorp uses the Roche kit for it's antibody testing. It's not an at-home test, you have to visit a LabCorp facility, but they have a lot of facilities nationwide. Your insurance may cover some or all of the cost. I thought the test was $119 if you had to pay for it yourself, but I can't find confirmation of that on a quick search. Please update us if you follow through with the test, I'm interested.
