SARS-CoV-2 variant research: A complete suite of reagents for detection, vaccine, and therapeutic development

A subgroup of the mutations detected in the RBD domain of the spike protein appears in more than one strain. These overlapping mutations generate considerable interest because they could cause increased transmissibility. Sino Biological has developed RBD and Spike proteins, each of which covers these variants.

The mutations in these strains may also be seen in the nucleocapsid protein, which is the biomarker commonly targeted by rapid antigen tests. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to determine whether commercial antigen tests available on the market can detect mutated N proteins with equal sensitivity and specificity as their WT counterpart.

Sino Biological has developed a range of high-grade research reagents for dominant SARS-CoV-2 mutants. These include recombinant antigens, ELISA kits, cDNAs, detection antibodies, peptide pools, and receptor ACE2. Sino Biological’s variant reagents have played an active role in the fundamental research areas of SARS-CoV-2, including the development of therapeutic antibodies, vaccines, and diagnostic reagents.
