SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies for Lateral Flow Assay

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) is an alternative platform that can be used to detect viral antigens in biological samples. Sino Biological has developed a panel of antibodies pairs against SARS-CoV-2 S&N protein and that identified as potential candidates for developing LFA (ChemRxiv 2020).

Evaporation is critical for coronavirus transmission in colder months

Dr. Talib Dbouk and Professor Dimitris Drikakis speak to News-Medical about how evaporation is essential for coronavirus transmission in the winter.

	'Silent' wave of neurological consequences may be on its way due to COVID-19 Is the world prepared a wave of neurological consequences that may be on its way as a result of COVID-19? This question is at the forefront of research underway at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health.

	AI used to define the cytokine storm implicated in fatal COVID-19 A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* in September 2020 reports the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify an invariant or universal host immune response found in all viral pandemics so far. The association of this response with severe COVID-19 phenotypes indicates a new understanding of the human immune response in viral pandemics.

	Vitamin D deficiency may predict COVID-19 seroconversion A recent study published on the preprint server medRxiv* in October 2020 reports the potential contribution of vitamin D deficiency to an increased risk of COVID-19 in a subset of health care workers in the UK.

	Study offers new insight on molecular mechanisms that allow malaria parasites to spread disease New insight on the molecular mechanisms that allow malaria parasites to move and spread disease within their hosts has been published today in the open-access eLife journal.

	SARS-CoV-2 can survive for 4 weeks on glass, money and metal Published in the Virology Journal, the study shows that the virus can stay infectious for more extended periods on surfaces such as phone screens, stainless steel, and banknotes than previously thought.
