Impaired detection of omicron by SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests

Andreas Osterman et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of nine SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests (RATs) in a single-centre laboratory study. The results showed that higher virus loads were required for omicron-containing samples compared to delta-containing samples in order to test positive in these point-of-care tests. However, testing of expanded virus stocks suggested a comparable RAT sensitivity for both omicron and delta variants, questioning the predictive value of in vitro studies for clinical performance. Given the importance of RATs in national testing strategies during the omicron wave, awareness must be increased for the reduced detection rate of omicron infections by RATs and a short list of suitable RATs should be disclosed.

Multivalent designed proteins neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and confer protection against infection in mice

Andrew C. Hunt et al.

Summary: Researchers used a cell-free expression workflow to screen and optimize constructs containing computationally designed miniprotein inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. They found that a homotrimeric version of the ACE2 mimic AHB2 (TRI2-2) achieved the broadest efficacy. The TRI2-2 miniprotein neutralized Omicron, Delta, and other variants with greater potency than clinically used monoclonal antibodies. It also provided prophylactic and therapeutic protection against SARS-CoV-2 in mice when administered intranasally. The designed miniprotein receptor mimics offer a widely applicable antiviral therapeutic strategy with advantages over antibodies and native receptor traps.

The impact of population-wide rapid antigen testing on SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in Slovakia

Martin Pavelka et al.

Summary: Slovakia conducted multiple rounds of population-wide rapid antigen testing for SARS-CoV-2 in late 2020, with observed prevalence decreasing by 58% within 1 week in counties subject to two rounds of mass testing. This decrease was not solely explained by infection control measures, but also required the isolation and quarantine of household members of those testing positive.

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.

Comparison of seven commercial SARS-CoV-2 rapid point-of-care antigen tests: a single-centre laboratory evaluation study

Victor M. Corman et al.

Summary: This study compared the analytical sensitivity and specificity of seven commercially available antigen point-of-care test devices, showing that most devices have sensitivity overlapping with SARS-CoV-2 viral loads typically observed during the first week of symptoms, marking the infectious period in most patients. Antigen point-of-care tests with detection limits approximating virus concentrations at which patients are infectious may streamline decision-making in healthcare and public health.
