Anti-SARS-CoV-2 (BA.2) Neutralizing Antibody Titer Serologic Assay Kit (Spike RBD) | RAS-N087| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe
A more contagious subvariant of omicron, known as BA.2, is spreading across the globe and could soon become the dominant version of Covid-19.It's now the top variant in at least 18 countries and rapidly spreading, representing 35% of all new cases that have been genetically sequenced worldwide, up from 10 countries and 21% of cases the week before, according to new data from the World Health Organization. In the U.S, BA.2 currently makes up 3.8% of genetically sequenced Covid cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.To facilitate the mutant-related research, drug trials and vaccine development, a high-throughput assay to measure neutralizing antibodies against the mutants is in urgent need.

Molecule: Spike RBD.
Format: Solid.
Species: SARSN/ACoVN/A2.
Application: The kit is developed for qualitative detection or titer measurement of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 (BA.2) neutralizing antibody (Spike RBD) in human serum.
Kit Component: This assay kit is used to measure the levels of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody through a competitive ELISA. The microplate in the kit has been pre-coated with Human ACE2 protein. First serum samples, Positive control，Negative Control are added to the wells followed by addition of HRP-SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD. After incubation, the wells are washed and substrate is added to the wells. The reaction is terminated by the addition of stop solution and the intensity of color is measured at 450 nm. The presence of neutralizing antibodies in samples will compete with ACE2 for HRP-SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD binding. The intensity of assay signal decrease proportionally to the presence of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody.
