Accuracy of Rapid Antigen Testing Across SARS-CoV-2 Variants
2022-03-09
Abstract excerpt
Variants of SARS-CoV-2 have mutations in the viral genome that may alter the accuracy of rapid diagnostic tests. Molecular tests can be affected by single point mutations, whereas antigen tests may require multiple mutations to change the confirmation of viral protein epitopes. The Omicron variant has numerous mutations in the spike and nucleocapsid proteins, which has raised concerns about the analytical and clin...
