COVID-19 vaccine development protocol: PSV Based Neutralization Assay 5. Vaccines development for COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel viral pneumonia caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). First discovered in Wuhan, a city in Hubei province of China, COVID-19 has already broken out throughout the world and posed a great threat […]

Variant of Concern 202012/01Technical briefing 5 This briefing provides an update on the briefing of 14 January 2021 Summary SGTF detections indicate VOC202012/01 continues to predominate across all regions. S gene target failure remains a well correlated proxy measure of VOC 202012/01. An assessment of severity of disease has been conducted by NERVTAG. A limited […]
Variant of Concern 202012/01 Technical briefing 4 This briefing provides an update on the briefing of 8 January 2021 Nomenclature of variants in the UK SARS-CoV-2 variants if considered to have concerning epidemiological, immunological or pathogenic properties are raised for formal investigation. At this point they are designated Variant Under Investigation (VUI) with a year, […]

About SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV, novel Coronavirus) Nucleocapsid protein (Coronavirus N protein) 1. SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) N protein: Coronavirus N protein is required for coronavirus RNA synthesis, and has RNA chaperone activity that may be involved in template switch. Nucleocapsid protein is a most abundant protein of coronavirus. N protein packages the positive strand viral genome RNA into a helical […]
About SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV, novel Coronavirus) membrane protein (Coronavirus M protein) 1. SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) M protein: Coronavirus M protein is believed to define the shape of the viral envelope,which contains three transmembrane domains. It has a small N-terminal glycosylated ectodomain and a much larger C-terminal endodomain that extends 6–8 nm into the viral particle. M protein usualy exists […]
About SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV, novel Coronavirus) Envelop protein (Coronavirus E protein) 1. SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) E protein: E protein is the smallest major structural proteins. It has a N-terminal ectodomain and a C-terminal endodomain with ion channel activity. During the replication cycle, E protein is abundantly expressed inside the infected cell, but only a small portion is incorporated into […]
