Traceable value of immunoglobulin G against receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 confirmation and application to point-of-care testing system development.

A highly purified and bioactive immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody against receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 (RBD-IgG-MAb) has been accurately quantified by amino acid determination using isotope dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Absolute quantification of RBD-IgG-MAb was achieved by averaging 4 amino acid certified reference materials, which allows the quantitative value (66.1 ± 5.

Lateral Flow Immunoassay Based on Time-Resolved Fluorescence Microspheres for Rapid and Quantitative Screening CA199 in Human Serum.

Carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) is a serum biomarker which has certain value and significance in the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and postoperative monitoring of cancer. In this study, a lateral flow immunoassay based on europium (III) polystyrene time-resolved fluorescence microspheres (TRFM-based LFIA), integrated with a portable fluorescence reader, has been successfully establish for rapid and quantitative analysis of CA199 in human serum. Briefly, time-resolved fluorescence microspheres (TRFMs) were conjugated with antibody I (Ab1) against CA199 as detection probes, and antibody II (Ab2) was coated as capture element, and a "TRFMs-Ab1-CA199-Ab2" sandwich format would form when CA199 was detected by the TRFM-based LFIA.

Latex Microsphere-Based Bicolor Immunochromatography for Qualitative Detection of Neutralizing Antibody against SARS-CoV-2.

Neutralizing antibody (NAb) is a family of antibodies with special functions, which afford a degree of protection against infection and/or reduce the risk of clinically severe infection. Receptor binding domain (RBD) in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, a portion of the S1 subunit, can stimulate the immune system to produce NAb after infection and vaccination. The detection of NAb against SARS-CoV-2 is a simple and direct approach for evaluating a vaccine's effectiveness.

Lateral Flow Immunoassay Coupled with Copper Enhancement for Rapid and Sensitive SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Detection.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still raging all over the world. Hence, the rapid and sensitive screening of the suspected population is in high demand. The nucleocapsid protein (NP) of SARS-CoV-2 has been selected as an ideal marker for viral antigen detection.
