ELISA Formats for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
The field of diagnostics is rapidly developing, yet ELISA and PCR methods remain the most commonly used techniques in the diagnosis of bacterial and viral infections. In this blog, we discuss the advantages of using serological methods over molecular, PCR-based...
The world’s most extensive range of NS1-specific antibodies for flavivirus research
The Native Antigen Company first gained prominence in 2016, when it developed highly pure Zika virus NS1 protein during the 2015/2016 epidemic. Since then, the company has developed an extensive range of highly specific antigens, antibodies and immunoassays for...
Flavivirus NS1: A Short Introduction
In the first of a two-part series, we describe the structure of Flavivirus Non-Structural Protein 1 (NS1) and the role that it plays in viral pathogenesis. Flavivirus proteins Flaviviruses are single-stranded, enveloped RNA viruses, belonging to the Flaviviridae...
Paper Synopsis: ELISA formats and antibody quenching to reduce ZIKV cross-reactivity
While the 2015/16 Zika epidemic no longer makes the headlines, there remains a crucial need to accurately and reliably diagnose Zika virus (ZIKV) infection to identify and manage further outbreaks. However, high levels of cross-reactivity among cocirculating...
