CLIA COVID-19 NP IgG
  • Detection of IgG antibodies to Nucleocapsid Protein (NP) of SARS-CoV-2
  • Intended for human serum and plasma
  • Nucleocapsid recombinant antigen (rNP) used

Coronaviruses belong to the family of enveloped RNA viruses. In humans, they cause diverse clinical pictures, from the common cold to severe respiratory syndromes (MERS, SARS, and COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, is a respiratory virus discovered in 2019. It is primarily transmitted to an individual through close contact with an infected person, during which infectious droplets spread to the environment. Symptoms of COVID-19 are highly variable, ranging from none to life-threatening illness.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus contains four structural proteins: spike (S), nucleocapsid (N), envelope (E), and membrane (M) protein. Responding to the infection, the human immune system raises specific antibodies, starting with IgA and IgM. The IgG antibodies represent a later matured response. Serological tests play only a supporting role in COVID-19 diagnosis. However, they are effective in assessing the immune response of an individuum or population.

Nucleocapsid protein (NP) encapsulates viral genomic RNA and forms a major component of the viral structure. NP is a highly antigenic epitope, which is highly conserved and does not change when the virus is mutated. In patients who have had COVID-19 infection, the anti-NP antibodies are usually measured at higher levels than antibodies to other SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
