Enhancing Diagnostic Sensitivity: Investigating Molecular Mechanisms of Antigen Rapid Diagnostic Test (AgRDTs) Variability Across SARS-CoV-2 Variants

2025-03-06

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, led to the widespread use of antigen rapid diagnostic tests (AgRDTs) due to their speed, affordability, and ease of use. However, the diagnostic sensitivity of AgRDTs has been inconsistent across emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, with some variants exhibiting reduced detection rates. Thus, AgRDTs have been unreliable in detecting the different variants of SARS-CoV-2. Th...
