Even after over 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic, research on rapid, inexpensive, and accurate tests remains essential for controlling avoiding global spread SARS-CoV-2 across planet during a potential reappearance in future waves or regional outbreaks. Assessment serological responses can be beneficial population-level surveillance purposes, supporting development novel vaccines evaluating efficacy different immunization programs. This especially relevant broadly used inactivated whole...
Owing to fast SARS-CoV-2 mutations, biosensors employing antibodies as biorecognition elements have presented problems with sensitivity and accuracy. To face these challenges, can be replaced the human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), where it has been shown that affinity between ACE-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) increases emergence of new variants. Herein, we report on Ni-doped ZnO nanorod electrochemical an peptide (IEEQAKTFLDKFNHEAEDLFYQS-NH
The evaluation of serological responses to COVID-19 is crucial for population-level surveillance, developing new vaccines, and evaluating the efficacy different immunization programs. Research development point-of-care test technologies remain essential improving immunity assessment, especially SARS-CoV-2 variants that partially evade vaccine-induced immune responses. In this work, an impedimetric biosensor based on immobilization recombinant trimeric wild-type spike protein (S protein) zinc...
