    Product Information

    Product Description

    The FastScan™ SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein ELISA Kit is a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. To perform the assay, sample is incubated with a capture antibody conjugated with a proprietary tag and a second detection antibody linked to HRP, forming a sandwich with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in solution. This entire complex is immobilized to the plate via an anti-tag antibody. The wells are then washed to remove unbound material. TMB is then added. The magnitude of observed signal is proportional to the quantity of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

    *Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

    IMPORTANT: This FastScan™ ELISA Kit requires 4 washes at Step 6 of the protocol.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    The FastScan™ SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, but does not cross-react with spike proteins from SARS or MERS coronaviruses, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species. This ELISA kit will detect full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fragments containing both the RBD and the S1-NTD regions, as shown in Figure 2 (one ELISA antibody recognizes a region in the S1-NTD of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, while the other antibody targets a region in the RBD).

    Background

    The cause of the COVID-19 pandemic is a novel and highly pathogenic coronavirus, termed SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the Coronaviridae family of viruses (1). The genome of SARS-CoV-2 is similar to other coronaviruses, and is comprised of four key structural proteins: S, the spike protein, E, the envelope protein, M, the membrane protein, and N, the nucleocapsid protein (2). Coronavirus spike proteins are class I fusion proteins and harbor an ectodomain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tail (3,4). The highly glycosylated ectodomain projects from the viral envelope surface and facilitates attachment and fusion with the host cell plasma membrane. The ectodomain can be further subdivided into host receptor-binding domain (RBD) (S1) and membrane-fusion (S2) subunits, which are produced upon proteolysis by host proteases at S1/S2 and S2’ sites. S1 and S2 subunits remain associated after cleavage and assemble into crown-like homotrimers (2,4). In humans, both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins utilize the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein as a receptor for cellular entry (5-7). Spike protein subunits represent a key antigenic feature of coronavirus virions, and therefore represent an important target of vaccines, novel therapeutic antibodies, and small-molecule inhibitors (8,9).
