work without protection

work without protection

Hi,
I worked for one week in a medical device company, that produce immunoassaytest. I touched, without any protection, I mean gloves, the streps that containg monoclonal antibodies. I mean every strip was dry, I worked to put the strip into the cassette. No human serum,blood,o other liquid. No scars o cut in my hand. My only considerations is could be antigen o antibodies go through my skin?

No, nothing cannot permeate intact skin. Skin is a protective barrier and if antigens could penetrate it, we would all be dead. It's a very effective barrier. You had no risk and do not need testing. No worries. Rest easy!
