Aptasensing nucleocapsid protein on nanodiamond assembled gold interdigitated electrodes for impedimetric SARS-CoV-2 infectious disease assessment

Santheraleka Ramanathan et al.

Summary: The strategy using a 10 μm gap-sized gold interdigitated electrode (AuIDE) with silane-modified diamond has shown enhanced detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (NCP). Structural analyses confirmed the cubic crystalline nature of the chemically modified diamond, with XPS analysis showing a strong interaction of carbon element. FTIR analysis revealed major intrinsic bondings between elements, making the aptasensing platform highly recommended for early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19 therapy and SARS-CoV-2 detection

Yu-Chyi Hwang et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a public health crisis, leading to the urgent development of therapeutic treatments and virus detection methods. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have emerged as powerful tools for treating and detecting diseases due to their high specificity and reliability. Researchers are urgently developing antibody-based kits for SARS-CoV-2 detection and antibody drugs for COVID-19 treatment. The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is crucial for viral infection, has been extensively studied and its receptor-binding domain (RBD) has become a major target for therapeutic antibody development. Given the high mutation rate of SARS-CoV-2, especially under the pressure of prophylactic vaccines and neutralizing antibodies, the use of antibody cocktails is expected to be an important strategy for effective COVID-19 treatment. Additionally, antibodies against cytokine storms, which can be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection and drive severe disease progression, are also being developed as treatments for COVID-19. In addition to their use as drugs, antibodies are currently being used in SARS-CoV-2 detection tests, including antigen and immunoglobulin tests, which are crucial surveillance tools for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
