• Anti-SARS-Cov-2 Mpro ELISA Test: the first serological assay designed to detect with high specificity and sensitivity recent and past SARS-CoV-2 infection.

  • This new type of serological test can detect antibodies from the onset of symptoms, allowing to confirm patients with recent and past infection.

  • We are working every day to open opportunities for a better understanding of the immune response and its evolution over time.

FAQS

Why Mpro protein is more inmunogenic than other proteins?

Vital Role In Viral Replication

In an attempt to increase the diagnostic possibilities of COVID-19 patients, this assay was developed for the detection of specific antibodies against one of the 16 non-structural proteins, the main viral protease (Mpro or 3CLpro), which plays a critical role in viral replication.

The Mpro protease plays a vital role in processing the polyproteins that are translated from the viral RNA. Although this protein is not exposed in the viral particle, Mpro is elicited after viral infection. Like other b-coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense RNA virus that expresses multiple proteins as a single polypeptide chain, and Mpro cleaves the polyprotein to release mature proteins for the virus. Inhibitors that can block viral replication are promising potential drug candidates that could be used to treat patients suffering from the COVID-19 coronavirus infection.
