Limits and Opportunities of SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Tests: An Experienced-Based Perspective

Verena Schildgen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the performance of three different rapid antigen tests in a clinical setting, showing varying specificities and sensitivities which did not entirely meet all expectations. Therefore, careful evaluation is needed when considering their benefits for specific testing strategies and settings.

Effect of natural mutations of SARS-CoV-2 on spike structure, conformation, and antigenicity

Sophie M-C Gobeil et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 variants with multiple spike mutations have increased transmission and resistance to antibodies. Research showed that these variants have enhanced receptor binding and a preference for receptor binding domain up states. Different variants exhibit different mechanisms for resistance to neutralizing antibodies, which helps explain their transmission and resistance.

Multidisciplinary assessment of the Abbott BinaxNOW SARS-CoV-2 point-of-care antigen test in the context of emerging viral variants and self-administration

Jennifer K. Frediani et al.

Summary: Though there has been progress in rapid COVID-19 testing technology, challenges remain in accurately detecting viral variants and implementing self-testing at home. Research indicates that BinaxNOW can detect various new variants, but sensitivity may decrease due to user error.

Rapid, point-of-care antigen and molecular-based tests for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Jacqueline Dinnes et al.

Summary: Accurate and rapid diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection are crucial for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Point-of-care antigen and molecular tests can increase access to testing and expedite clinical and public health management decisions. Studies show that antigen tests have varying sensitivity, with higher accuracy in the first week of infection, and the efficacy of molecular tests depends on the specific brand used.

Hendrik Gremmels et al.

Summary: The antigen rapid test showed high specificity and sensitivity in community-dwelling residents in the Netherlands and Aruba, especially when using a Ct value <32 cycles as the cut-off for RT-qPCR positivity. This test could play a significant role in controlling viral spread.
