Development of test kit for detection of specific IgM to SARS-CoV-2 by immune blotting in the «Line blot¼ format.

Test kit for detection of specific IgM to SARS-CoV-2 by immune blotting in the «Line blot¼ format has been developed. A preliminary study of diagnostic effectivity on clinical samples of blood serum from patients with COVID-19 and healthy donors showed its high sensitivity and specificity. The new test kit allows to detect IgM to all four structural antigens of SARS-CoV-2 and can be used as a confirmatory test to verify indeterminant screening results in laboratory etiological diagnosis of COVID-19.

Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of IgG-antibodies to the causative agent of COVID-19 in human serum (plasma).

A new original Russian test kit for the detection of IgG-antibodies to the causative agent of COVID-19 - coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 by the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on a solid-phase «ELISA-SARS-CoV-2-AT-G¼ has been developed. In comparative tests with similar test systems «Vitrotest® SARS-CoV-2 IgG¼ (Vitrotest, Ukraine) and «Anti-SARS-Cov-2 ELISA (IgG)¼ (EUROIMMUN AG, Germany) high diagnostic efficiency of the new test system was shown.
