  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR RAPID DETECTION OF SARS-CoV-2
    Publication number: 20230332254
    Abstract: Disclosed here are compositions and methods for the detection of at least one virus viruses using a one-step assay. The viruses to be detected include at least SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. In particular, the disclosure relates to a method of detection of the viruses using specific primers and probes designed to detect and if necessary differentiate between the viruses.

  • PEPTIDE SEQUENCES FOR DETECTION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF ANTIBODY RESPONSES TO SARS-COV-2 AND OTHER HUMAN CORONA VIRUSES
    Publication number: 20230184764
    Abstract: The current disclosure provides compositions, methods, and kits for detecting the exposure to and infection by certain viruses. Specifically, the current disclosure allows for the rapid differential serological detection of exposure to, and infection by viruses. In particular, the current disclosure allows for the rapid differential serological detection of exposure to, and infection by corona virus (SARS-CoV-2). The current disclosure provides for peptides for the differential detection of SARS-CoV-2.
