Measurement principle
-
The SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein immobilized on the plate is recognized and reacted with the antibody (hereinafter, abbreviated as anti-spike protein antibody) in a sample
-
After the reaction, the sample is removed by washing.
-
The anti-spike protein antibody is reacted with HRP (Horseradish peroxidase)-conjugated anti-human IgA antibody.
-
Remove excess HRP-conjugated anti-human IgA antibody by washing. Add a chromogenic substrate and measure the absorbance.
Significance of measurement
This kit is a research ELISA kit to detect human IgA antibody that recognizes the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the causative virus of Covid-19.
Virus detection can be broadly divided into two approaches: one is to detect the virus itself, such as PCR method, and the other is to detect the immune response that develops during infection (IgG, IgM, IgA). IgA is particularly abundant in mucous membranes such as saliva and the nasopharynx, and generally has the function of infection prevention.
