I-Spike glycoprotein ikhona endaweni yenoveli coronavirus futhi iguqulwa kalula njenge-Alpha (B.1.1.7), i-Beta(B.1.351), i-Delta(B.1.617.2), i-Gamma(P.1) ne-Omicron (B. 1.1.529, BA.2, BA.4, BA.5).

I-nucleocapsid ye-viral yakhiwe ngamaprotheni e-nucleocapsid (i-N protein ngamafuphi) ne-RNA. Iphrotheni ye-N izinzile uma kuqhathaniswa, ingxenye enkulu kunazo zonke kumaprotheni esakhiwo segciwane kanye nokuzwela okuphezulu ekubonweni.

Ngokusekelwe kuzici ze-N protein, i-Monoclonal antibody ye-N protein ngokumelene ne-coronavirus yenoveli yakhethwa ekuthuthukisweni nasekuklanyweni kwekhithi yethu yokuzihlola ye-Antigen Test ebizwa ngokuthi “SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Colloidal Gold)” ehloselwe ukutholwa kwekhwalithi ye-SARS-CoV-2 Antigen kuma-specimens we-nasal swab in vitro ngokutholwa kwe-N protein.

Okusho ukuthi, kuhlobo lwamanje lwe-spike glycoprotein mutant olufana no-Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta(B.1.351), Delta(B.1.617.2), Gamma(P.1) kanye ne-Omicron (B.1.1) .529, BA.2, BA.4, BA.5). Ukusebenza kwe-SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Colloidal Gold) ekhiqizwa inkampani yethu ngeke kuthinteke.
