ABSTRACT: Background
As several vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have been developed, a large proportion of individuals have been vaccinated worldwide so far. The rapid and accurate immunoassays are urgently needed for detecting the specific virus-neutralizing antibody (NAb), which reflect the protective effect of the vaccines among different populations.Methods
In this study, we designed a quantum dot lateral flow immunoassay strip (QD-LFIA) for smartphones for the detection of specific IgG or neutralizing antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 in human serum or whole blood samples. The recombinant receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was used as the antigen to combine with NAb or angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.Results
Among 81 patients who recovered from COVID-19 who were diagnosed using the nucleic acid test initially, 98.8% (80/81) were positive for IgG and 88.9% (72/81) were positive for NAb by QD-LFIA. Among 64 individuals inoculated with inactivated vaccines and six subunit vaccines, 90% (63/70) were positive for IgG and 82.9% (58/70) were positive for NAb by QD-LFIA, whereas no cross-reaction was found in 150 healthy blood donors, two patients with influenza B, and three patients with common cold.Conclusion
The established platform could achieve a rapid and accurate detection of NAb specific to SARS-CoV-2, which could be used for detecting the protective effect of the vaccines in areas of world that currently affected by the pandemic.
