Assessment of an immunochromatographic kit for detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and influenza viruses

Abstract

An immunochromatographic kit was developed to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza viruses (A and B) on two detection positions of a single strip. The sensitivity and specificity for SARS-CoV-2 were 97.4% and 100%, respectively, and those for influenza viruses were 100%, respectively.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants by immunochromatographic kit

“…We developed two immunochromatographic assay (ICA) kits to detect SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan strain[ 4 ] and a delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 [ 5 ], respectively. These kits used monoclonal antibodies against the nucleocapsid (N) protein [amino acid (aa) 1–419] of SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan strain.…”
