INTENDED USE
The kit applies for detecting the presence of neutralizing anti-trimeric spike antibodies that have the capacity to neutralize the binding of trimeric spike protein to ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) receptor.CROSS-REACTIVITY
The Icosagen Neutralizing antibody kit was evaluated for potential cross-reactivity from a total of 165 specimens representing different medical conditions. All 165 specimens showed no cross-reactivity.
