Evaluating a novel, highly sensitive, and quantitative reagent for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen
A new quantifying reagent for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen was developed for early and accurate detection. The sensitivity and specificity of the test were 75.7% (56/74) and 96.0% (192/200) The concordance rate in the positive group between the antigen and nucleic acid tests was 66% (66/100) It may be useful in both clinical diagnosis and in screening because it does not require special methods such as PCR.
