COVID-19
Outbreaks with a novel coronavirus disease COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The virus has shown to be very contagious and has caused a world wide pandemic in the spring of 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a single strand RNA virus with glycoprotein spikes on its surface. The spike protein (S) contains the receptor-binding domain (RBD) which has affinity to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The interaction between RBD and ACE2 mediates the fusion of the viral and cellular membranes starting the infection process. The S protein has two subunits, S1 and S2. S1 contains the RBD region and the S2 is associated with the membrane of the virus. The nucleoprotein (N) is an abundant protein associated with virus structure and replication.

A White Paper on Serology
The white paper describe assessment of sensitivity and specificity of a multi-plate antigen strategy by testing Non-Human Primates.
We would suggest testing the samples on the S1 and S2 spike plates first. If a sample is positive, the same sample could be tested on the nucleoprotein plate, RBD + M plate and the seasonal coronavirus plates. If the sample is positive on the spike plate and negative on the others, it would indicate that the sample has antibodies to the HEK vector or the Fc tag as the others are different vectors and tags. If the sample is positive on all, it could indicate a cross reaction to other coronavirus, otherwise it is a non-specific sera.

Human ACE2 ELISA Kit
XpressBio has developed a Human ACE2 ELISA Assay to help with SARS-CoV-2 research.
ACE2 is a transmembrane enzyme shown to aid in the entry of SARS CoV-2 into cells. Understanding the mechanism between SARS-CoV-2 and ACE2 is critical to developing effective long-term treatments for COVID-19.
Our Human ACE2 ELISA Assay can be used to quantify human ACE2 in cell culture media, cell culture lysate, plasma, or serum. We want to help you with your research.

Spike Fusion Protein
in Vaccine and Pathogenesis Research
A recent study in nonhuman primates shows that the use of a recombinant spike fusion protein, S1Fc, on the virus, prevents infection by inhibiting the fusion of the virus to the host cell membrane.
In other words, this protein antigen is a highly immunogenic molecule and stimulates the production of high levels of neutralizing antibodies. The Researchers tested the immune resistance recombinant SARSCoV2 S1Fc fusion protein in mice, rabbits, and monkeys against SARSCOV2 as a potential vaccine candidate.
