Amsbio has introduced a series of kit products based upon high-quality SARS-CoV-2 antigen proteins to improve the efficiency of anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs and vaccines development.
These new kit products include SARS-CoV-2 inhibitor screening kits, antibody titer serologic assay kits, antigen detection kit and antigen pre-coated plates.
SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped positive-stranded RNA virus that consists of four structural proteins including spike glycoprotein, envelope protein, membrane protein, and nucleocapsid protein. Researchers have identified the spike glycoprotein as the most important surface protein of SARS-CoV-2, which can mediate the virus entry into human respiratory epithelial cells by interacting with cell surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Spike S and S1 RBD proteins are important targets in the development of SARS-COV-2 therapeutics and vaccines.

Vaccines are one of the most important healthcare interventions available to humankind, preventing the spread of deadly diseases such as polio, tetanus, Hepatitis B and measles. Safe and effective, vaccines use the body’s natural immune system to build protection against pathogens. They’re currently used to prevent the contraction and spread of more than 20 potentially life-threatening diseases, with vaccines such as MMR transforming global healthcare.
A global healthcare intervention
Millions of lives a year are saved thanks to international vaccine programs spearheaded by organisations such as WHO. For example, in 2019 more than 85% of infants around the world received the full three-dose DTP3 vaccine which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.
