Assay Principle |
The GenScript
SARS-CoV-2 sVNT Kit (ELISA) - Multiplex VOC is a sVNT ELISA detection tool,
which mimics the virus neutralization process. |
Background |
SARS-CoV-2
(Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is a positive-sense single-stranded
RNA virus. SARS-CoV-2 contains glycosylated spike (S) protein, which is
composed of S1 subunit and S2 subunit. The S1 subunit contains a receptor
binding domain (RBD), which is responsible for recognizing the cell surface
receptor, angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2). Infection
with the SARS-CoV-2 virus initiates an immune response, which includes the
production of antibodies in the blood. Some secreted antibodies provide
protection against future infections from viruses, because they remain in the
circulatory system for months to years after infection and will bind quickly
and strongly to the pathogen to block cellular infiltration and replication.
These antibodies are named neutralizing antibodies. |
