Abstract
SARS-CoV-2, novel coronavirus, cause of the ongoing global pandemic of the human respiratory disease COVID-19, a member of the family Coronaviridae, sub-family Coronavirinae, genus Betacoronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 is enveloped, sense-positive, single-stranded RNA virus with large genome (30 kb).
Diagnostic testing includes detection the virus (viral RNA segments or viral antigens) or detection the human immune response to infection (IgM and IgG antibodies or other biomarkers).
There are still many outstanding questions that need proper answers. Sharing experiences and scientific expertise is of great importance to find out best answers.
In this paper, presented data of last two months (October and November 2020), performed by most advanced methods we are using in our laboratory: RT-PCR, Rapid Antigen Testing and Antibody testing (VIDAS – ELFA).
Comparative analysis of results on representative number of samples performed by RT_PCR and VIDAS are presented as well.
Key words: SARS-CoV-2, RT-PCR, antigens, genes, antibodies, IgG, IgM, VIDAS-ELFA
