I-spike glycoprotein ikhona ebusweni be-coronavirus entsha futhi iguquguquka kalula njenge-Alpha (B.1.1.7), i-Beta (B.1.351), i-Delta (B.1.617.2), i-Gamma (P.1) kanye ne-Omicron (B.1.1.529, i-BA.2, i-BA.4, i-BA.5).

I-nucleocapsid yegciwane yakhiwe yi-nucleocapsid protein (i-N protein ngamafuphi) kanye ne-RNA. I-N protein izinzile, ingxenye enkulu kunazo zonke kumaprotheni esakhiwo segciwane kanye nokuzwela okuphezulu ekutholakaleni.

Ngokusekelwe ezicini zeprotheyini ye-N, i-antibody ye-Monoclonal yeprotheyini ye-N yokulwa ne-coronavirus entsha yakhethwa ekuthuthukisweni nasekuklanyweni kwekhithi yethu yokuhlola i-Antigen yokuzihlola ebizwa ngokuthi “i-SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Colloidal Gold)” ehloselwe ukuthola i-SARS-CoV-2 Antigen esezingeni eliphezulu kumasampula e-nasal swab in vitro ngokuthola iphrotheyini ye-N.

Okusho ukuthi, ngohlobo lwamanje lwe-spike glycoprotein mutant njengo-Alpha (B.1.1.7), i-Beta (B.1.351), i-Delta (B.1.617.2), i-Gamma (P.1) kanye ne-Omicron (B.1.1.529, i-BA.2, i-BA.4, i-BA.5). Ukusebenza kwe-SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (i-Colloidal Gold) ekhiqizwe yinkampani yethu ngeke kuthinteke.
