Claims20
A method for detecting the presence of coronavirus antigens in a sample obtained from a subject,
- a. wherein the method comprises the use of lateral flow immunoassay comprising a solid support, nanoparticles and one or more antibodies,
- b. wherein the one or more antibodies bind coronavirus nucleocapsid protein, spike protein, membrane protein and/or envelope protein.
A device for detecting the presence of coronavirus antigens in a sample obtained from a subject,
- a. wherein the devices comprises a lateral flow immunoassay comprising a solid support, nanoparticles and one or more antibodies,
- b. wherein the one or more antibodies are immobilized onto the solid support, wherein the one or more antibodies are capable of specifically binding to the nucleocapsid protein (or active fragment thereof) of the coronavirus.
