Our Test
Our methodology we utilize to test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a state-of-the-Art RT-PCR testing process developed by experts in the field. The methodology is extremely sensitive, and it is listed as one of the most sensitive and specific SARS-CoV-2 test method out of more than 100 tests validated by the FDA (FDA: SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel Comparative Data, 12/2020)
The assay is a multiplex rRT-PCR assay consisting of one reaction with primers and probes for the viral targets (Orf1ab, N and E genes) and internal control in one tube thus with increased assay throughput and ease of use and other advantages as a multiplex assay.
The Orf1ab, N, and E genes of the SARS-CoV-2 genome are targeted in the rRT-PCR assay. Primers and TaqMan probes designed for conserved regions of the SARS- CoV-2 virus genome allow specific amplification and detection of the viral RNA from all strains of SARS-CoV-2 from respiratory specimens. The Human RNase P gene is used as Internal control to monitor viral RNA extraction efficiency and assess amplifiable RNA in the samples to be tested.

Mouse STR
The Consortium for Mouse Cell Line Authentication was formed to validate Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers for intraspecies identification of mouse cell lines. The STR profiling method is a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay comprised of primers targeting 19 mouse STR markers and two human STR markers (for interspecies contamination screening).
Overall, the interlaboratory study showed that the multiplex PCR method using 18 of the 19 mouse STR markers is capable of discriminating at the intraspecies level between mouse cell lines. Further studies are ongoing to refine the assay including (1) development of an allelic ladder for improving the accuracy of allele calling and (2) integration of stutter filters to identify true stutter.

COVID-19 Variants
DURHAM, NC
Test could measure patient immunity against multiple COVID-19 variants such as Omicron and Delta at once.
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have devised a test to quickly and easily assess how well a person’s neutralizing antibodies fight infection from multiple variants of COVID-19 such as Delta and the newly discovered Omicron variant.
This test could potentially tell doctors how protected a patient is from new variants and those currently circulating in a community or, conversely, which monoclonal antibodies to treat a COVID-19 patient. The test is described online in the journal Science Advances.
“In all of our tests, the results largely mimicked what we’ve been seeing in the literature,” said Jake Heggestad, a PhD student working in the Chilkoti lab. “And in this case, not finding anything new is a good sign, because it means our test is working just as well as the methods currently being used.”

Evasive Maneuvers
December 3, 2021

New research details how SARS-CoV-2 variants are evolving new ways to evade antibodies, vaccines.
In an effort to predict the future evolutionary maneuvers of SARS-CoV-2, a research team led by investigators at Harvard Medical School (HMS) has identified several likely mutations that would allow the virus to evade immune defenses, including natural immunity acquired through infection and developed from vaccination as well as antibody-based treatments.
The study, published in Science as an accelerated publication for immediate release, was designed to gauge how SARS-CoV-2 might evolve as it continues to adapt to its human hosts and in doing so to help public health officials and scientists prepare for future mutations.
Indeed, as the research was nearing publication, a new variant of concern, dubbed Omicron, entered the scene and was subsequently found to contain several of the antibody-evading mutations the researchers predicted in the newly published paper. As of December 1, omicron has been identified in 25 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America, a list that is growing daily.
The Blood-Brain Barrier and SARS-CoV-2
It is unclear whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019, can enter the brain. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 binds to cells via the S1 subunit of its spike protein. We show that intravenously injected radioiodinated S1 (I-S1) readily crossed the blood–brain barrier in male mice, was taken up by brain regions and entered the parenchymal brain space. I-S1 was also taken up by the lung, spleen, kidney and liver. Intranasally administered I-S1 also entered the brain, although at levels roughly ten times lower than after intravenous administration.
APOE genotype and sex did not affect whole-brain I-S1 uptake but had variable effects on uptake by the olfactory bulb, liver, spleen and kidney. I-S1 uptake in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb was reduced by lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation. Mechanistic studies indicated that I-S1 crosses the blood–brain barrier by adsorptive transcytosis and that murine angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 is involved in brain and lung uptake, but not in kidney, liver or spleen uptake.
