Description
SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) the virus that causes the disease COVID-19, is related to SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and other betacoronaviruses (HKU1, NL63, OC43 and 229E). SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped positive strand RNA virus that consists of several structural proteins including spike (S) protein, envelope (E) protein, membrane (M) protein and nucleocapsid (N) protein; and other non-structural proteins (NSPs). Spike proteins located on the surface of the virus, have a high affinity for binding to human receptor ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) within respiratory epithelial which serves as an entry mechanism for infection. As such, the S protein may be vital to blocking viral infection and vaccine development. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Antibody is useful for researchers interested in diagnostics, vaccines, and viral research
