A team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Taiwan in 19 days developed antibodies that identify the protein that causes the infection of the "Corona-Covid-19" virus, to pave the way for a new test that detects the virus within 15 minutes. As the academy announced on the Facebook page that d. Yang An Sui and his team from the Genome Research Center have developed, within 19 days, monoclonal antibodies that can identify the SARS-Cove-2 protein that causes infection (Covid-19), according to the Dubai Future Foundation’s future observatory.
Yang revealed testing of the first monoclonal antibodies linked to the protein nucleus protein and its production. "These antibodies will be used to test for infection with Covid-19 virus, obtain a result within 15 minutes after its production, and verify its effectiveness," he said. "These antibodies are not bound to proteins." The five strains of the Coronavirus have what protects people from cross-reactivity. ”
The announcement indicated that the team is working in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Affairs to develop and produce prototypes. The next step includes working on product validity and verification with the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration before coordinating with the Ministry of Health to publish a rapid examination in the country. Academy director James C. Lao to begin production of the test in several commercial quantities within three to four months. It takes about four hours for current Covid-19 testing to show the result.
• Current exams take about four hours.
