New Omicron Reactive Antibodies
Feb 08 2022
Most of us are aware that the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus possesses multiple mutations in the Spike protein. However, this variant also has mutations in the nucleocapsid protein (N) as well.
This is critically important since current antigen tests detect the nucleocapsid by immunoassay. The antibodies employed in these tests must recognise the mutated N antigen otherwise a false negative test will result.
Leading infectious disease antigens and antibodies manufacturer, ViroStat, has validated their 4 best monoclonal antibody pairs (products #3865-#3868) for reactivity with the nucleocapsid of the Omicron variant. These high affinity antibody pairs are used successfully in lateral flow and ELISA applications for antigen detection of the other variants as well.
