I doubt it. Antibody reaction is a classic technique for detecting the presence of a protein. You are associating "antibody" with the pop-sci meaning that relates to how immune systems kill pathogens.
Glomalin is destroyed by tilllage and its production is inhibited by bare soil and excess phosphorus, according to Sara Wright, Kris Nichols and others. So if you make TP, it might be a good idea not to dig it or fertilise it or leave it uncovered.
