| T192 |
0-330 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Standard procedures for detecting the virus from nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swabs have been reviewed recently and are primarily based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).140 Here, we would like to mention some preliminary ideas on nanotechnology-based assays to monitor the presence of SARS-CoV-2. |
| T193 |
331-526 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A simplified test and variants thereof to detect viral proteins (e.g., HIV or influenza virus) without the need for expensive equipment is based on the color change of Au NPs bound to antibodies. |
| T194 |
527-933 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similar to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) antibodies coupled to Au NPs will form a tertiary complex with the viral antigen and a capture antibody, thereby leading to the immobilization and agglomeration of NPs, which shifts the color from red to blue.32 Such simple, low-cost procedures could be of value in regions with low-resource medical infrastructure, as found in developing countries. |
| T195 |
934-1362 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For rapid, on-site detection, the development of graphene-based field-effect transistor (FET) biosensing devices coupled to a specific antibody against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was recently reported.141 Dual-functional plasmonic biosensors combining the plasmonic photothermal (PPT) effect and localized surface plasmon resonance were also recently developed and could be used as a cost-effective and fast alternative to RT-PCR. |
| T196 |
1363-1477 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, Au nanomaterials coupled to complementary DNA sequences are used to sense hybridized cDNAs of SARS-CoV-2.142 |
