Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid in variants of concern impair the sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 detection by rapid antigen tests
2022-09-09
Abstract excerpt
Rapid antigen tests (RATs) are used as convenient SARS-CoV-2 tests to minimize infection risks in the private and public domain (e.g., access to shops, concerts, sports, and other social events). RATs are: however, less sensitive than quantitative reverse transcription Polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays; hence, samples with low viral loads may be misdiagnosed. Reports on the ability of RATs to detect SARS-...
