AB  - In this study, a cost-effective sandwich ELISA test, based on polyclonal antibodies, for routine quantification SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein was developed. The recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice and rabbit antisera. Polyclonal N protein-specific antibodies served as capture and detection antibodies. The prototype ELISA has LOD 0.93 ng/mL and LOQ 5.3 ng/mL, with a linear range of 1.52–48.83 ng/mL. N protein heat pretreatment (56 °C, 1 h) decreased, while pretreatment with 1% Triton X-100 increased analytical ELISA sensitivity. The diagnostic specificity of ELISA was 100% (95% CI, 91.19–100.00%) and sensitivity was 52.94% (95% CI, 35.13–70.22%) compared to rtRT-PCR (Ct < 40). Profoundly higher sensitivity was obtained using patient samples mostly containing Wuhan-similar variants (Wuhan, alpha, and delta), 62.50% (95% CI, 40.59 to 81.20%), in comparison to samples mostly containing Wuhan-distant variants (Omicron) 30.00% (6.67–65.25%). The developed product has relatively high diagnostic sensitivity in relation to its analytical sensitivity due to the usage of polyclonal antibodies from two species, providing a wide repertoire of antibodies against multiple N protein epitopes. Moreover, the fast, simple, and inexpensive production of polyclonal antibodies, as the most expensive assay components, would result in affordable antigen tests.

AB  - Нови корона вирус (SARS CoV-2) који се појавио у Вухану 2019. године припада групи једноланчаних РНК вируса [1]. Представља нови инфективни агенс за хуману популацију и веома је брзо детектован у великом броју земаља. Узрочник је респираторних инфекција које могу да буду праћене и веома тешком клиничком сликом. Брзо ширење, одсуство имунитета на овај вирус и одсуство поузданих тестова за детекцију вируса у тренутку избијања пандемије су болест изазвану овим вирусом брзо претворили у здравствени и друштвени проблем највишег приоритета на глобалном нивоу. Иако су највеће биотехнолошке компаније убрзано почеле са развојем и масовном производњом дијагностичких тестова и вакцина, њихова доступност у тренуцима највеће потражње је и даље недовољна, а цене истих су лимитирајући фактор за бољу контролу болести и ширења пандемије [2]. Развој сопствених и одржива производња тестова и вакцина за COVID-19 су од великог друштвеног значаја. Важан предуслов за одрживу производњу тестова је доступност рекомбинантних антигена вируса и могућност производње истих на великој скали за потребе производње домаћих тестова. Овим техничким решењем се описује добијање два кључна антигена новог корона вируса рекомбинантном технологијом и њихова примена у серолошком ЕЛИСА тесту који производи Институт за примену нуклеарне енергије, ИНЕП, као и за добијање реагенаса за детекцију антигена новог корона вируса (специфичних антитела). У првој фази, оптимизоване су секвенце протеина које су подигле осетљивост постојећих серолошких тестова. Иновативност нашег приступа се огледа и у разрађеним експерименталним протоколима за добијање рекомбинантних протеина нуклеокапсида на великој скали, као и у солубилној форми, што олакшава поступак пречишћавања.

AB  - RT-PCR remains the primary method of diagnosing SARS-CoV-2. Serological diagnosis of COVID-19 is simple and does not require complex techniques and equipment, rendering it suitable for rapid detection and massive screening. However, serological tests cannot confirm SARS-CoV-2, and results will be false negative when antibody concentrations fall below detection limit. Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infection. Antigen-based tests show high specificity, but sensitivity is relatively low. For development and further improvement of both serological and antigen-based tests, availability of recombinantly producted SARS CoV-2 antigens is needed and during the periods of high demend in the pandemic, it was a limited factor both for research and diagnostic tests production by national producers of tests. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus derived protein and strong immunogen. We aimed to find its efficient, low-cost production. SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58-419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form, purified and characterized biochemically and immunologically. Purified rfNP has secondary structure of full-length recombinant N protein, with high percentage of disordered structure (34.2%) and of beta-sheet (40.7%). rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. Cost-effective approach for soluble recombinant N protein fragment production was developed, with reliable IgG and IgM antibodies detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower (94% and 96.5%, respectively). Application of serological ELISA for seropositivity detection in 200 allergic children in comparison to non-allergic did not show a bias towards any of the tested groups.  Furthermore, we have optimized production of rfNP at a large scale to raise specific antibodies to N-protein in rabbit and mice and develop an in house ELISA for quantification of N protein in biological fluids. Test was clinically validated in 200 PCR positive patients and showed a sensitivity of around 50%.

AB  - Ta na dijagnoza ljudi sa sumnjom na infekciju SARS-CoV-2 je od suštinskog zna aja za

AB  - The accurate diagnosis of people with suspected infection with the SARS-CoV-2 is
essential to curb the global spread of COVID-19. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 can be
detected by RT-PCR (it detects RNA of the virus) or by the presence of viral antigens in
biological fluids in ELISA or similar techniques using antibodies developed in animals.
The aim of the study was the establishment of a quantitative polyclonal sera-based test for
routine measurement of the concentration of SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using
absorbance measurement in a standard 96-well microtiter plate. For the purposes of the test
development, recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice
and rabbit antisera. Produced antisera were purified and titer was determined. High-affinity
polyclonal N-protein specific antisera were used for N-protein specific ELISA test
development. The test is based on mice polyclonal sera adhered to microtiter plate bottom
for the capture of the N protein from the specimen. Various concentrations of the
recombinant N-protein were used to generate a standard curve for protein quantification.
The N-protein bound to the mice antibodies was detected with rabbit polyclonal sera and
anti-rabbit antibody coupled to an enzyme that provides spectrophotometric measurement.
We have successfully developed the prototype ELISA for the quantification of N-protein
with the detection limit being in the range of ng/mL. The average LOD value for the
prototype ELISA was determined to be 9.2 ng/mL, while the average LOQ value was

essential to curb the global spread of COVID-19. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 can be
detected by RT-PCR (it detects RNA of the virus) or by the presence of viral antigens in
biological fluids in ELISA or similar techniques using antibodies developed in animals.
The aim of the study was the establishment of a quantitative polyclonal sera-based test for
routine measurement of the concentration of SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using
absorbance measurement in a standard 96-well microtiter plate. For the purposes of the test
development, recombinant N protein was produced and used for the production of mice
and rabbit antisera. Produced antisera were purified and titer was determined. High-affinity
polyclonal N-protein specific antisera were used for N-protein specific ELISA test
development. The test is based on mice polyclonal sera adhered to microtiter plate bottom
for the capture of the N protein from the specimen. Various concentrations of the
recombinant N-protein were used to generate a standard curve for protein quantification.
The N-protein bound to the mice antibodies was detected with rabbit polyclonal sera and
anti-rabbit antibody coupled to an enzyme that provides spectrophotometric measurement.
We have successfully developed the prototype ELISA for the quantification of N-protein
with the detection limit being in the range of ng/mL. The average LOD value for the
prototype ELISA was determined to be 9.2 ng/mL, while the average LOQ value was
10.2 ng/mL. We have demonstrated that produced polyclonal antisera are suitable for the

AB  - Serological testing is important method for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) infection and for assessment of immunological response after the vaccination. Nucleocapsid (N) protein is the most abundant virus protein and strong immunogen. The aim was develop efficient, low-cost production of N protein large fragment and to characterize it with bottom-up, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry and immunologically.
SARS-CoV-2 recombinant fragment of nucleocapsid protein (rfNP; 58–419 aa) was expressed in E. coli in soluble form and purified by several chromatographic steps and was subjected to SDS-PAGE and in-gel digested with trypsin.
rfNP was tested in immunoblot using sera of COVID-19 convalescent patients. ELISA was optimized with sera of RT-PCR confirmed positive symptomatic patients and healthy individuals. IgG detection sensitivity was 96% (47/50) and specificity 97% (67/68), while IgM detection was slightly lower. Identity of rfNP was confirmed with high scores and peptide coverage above 80%. Estimation from the value of areas under ion extracted chromatographic curves is that only up to 0,03% of the total band protein quantity belongs to host proteins, while rfNP share is well above 99,9%, resulting in highly pure nucleocapsid protein preparation.

AB  - The COVID-19 diagnostic tools are categorized into two main groups of Nucleic Acid (NA)-
based and protein-based tests. To date, nucleic acid-based detection has been announced as the
gold-standard strategy for coronavirus detection; however, protein-based tests are promising
alternatives for rapid and large-scale screening of susceptible groups. During the first months, no
rapid and reliable detecting tool was readily available to adequatly respond to the requirement of
massive testing. The aim was to develope cost-effective, sensitive and rapid screening
mechanisms for the detection of immune response to SARS-CoV2 (which causes COVID-19),
based on the principle of ELISA. The institute INEP has developed tests for detection of IgM
and IgG SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies based on S and N proteins of virus intended to monitor
different phases of natural infection, ELISA test for IgG detection in naturale infection based on
the use of exclusively domestic components of the ELISA kit (including proteins produced in
Serbia, Faculty of Chemistry) and a test specifically designed to monitor the effects of
immunization (determination of IgG antibodies specific for the RBD domain of S protein). The
tests were independently validated at the relevant laboratories in the country and abroad, and
compared to an FDA/WHO approved tests of a major test producers. All testing for validation
was carried out on samples collected before COVID19 (negative controls), PCR confirmed
COVID19 samples (positive controls) and potencialy cross-reactive samples (other pathogens
and autoimmune diseases). The antibody tests showed high levels of sensitivity and specificity
and extremely low background noises. The kits are extremely stable, have a shelf life of 1 year
and opened kits are usable up to 3 months at storing temperatures of 5°C

alternatives for rapid and large-scale screening of susceptible groups. During the first months, no
rapid and reliable detecting tool was readily available to adequatly respond to the requirement of
massive testing. The aim was to develope cost-effective, sensitive and rapid screening
mechanisms for the detection of immune response to SARS-CoV2 (which causes COVID-19),
based on the principle of ELISA. The institute INEP has developed tests for detection of IgM
and IgG SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies based on S and N proteins of virus intended to monitor
different phases of natural infection, ELISA test for IgG detection in naturale infection based on
the use of exclusively domestic components of the ELISA kit (including proteins produced in
Serbia, Faculty of Chemistry) and a test specifically designed to monitor the effects of
immunization (determination of IgG antibodies specific for the RBD domain of S protein). The
tests were independently validated at the relevant laboratories in the country and abroad, and
compared to an FDA/WHO approved tests of a major test producers. All testing for validation
was carried out on samples collected before COVID19 (negative controls), PCR confirmed
COVID19 samples (positive controls) and potencialy cross-reactive samples (other pathogens
and autoimmune diseases). The antibody tests showed high levels of sensitivity and specificity
and extremely low background noises. The kits are extremely stable, have a shelf life of 1 year
and opened kits are usable up to 3 months at storing temperatures of 5°C",

AB  - Diagnostic evaluation of specific antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is mainly based on spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Despite the critical functions in virus infection and contribution to the pattern of immunodominance in COVID-19, exploitation of the most abundant membrane (M) protein in the SARS-CoV-2 serology tests is minimal. This study investigated the recombinant M protein’s immunoreactivity with the sera from COVID-19 convalescents. In silico designed protein was created from the outer N-terminal part (19 aa) and internal C-terminal tail (101–222 aa) of the M protein (YP_009724393.1) and was recombinantly produced and purified. The designed M protein (16,498.74 Da, pI 8.79) revealed both IgM and IgG reactivity with serum samples from COVID-19 convalescents in Western blot. In ELISA, more than 93% (28/30) of COVID-19 sera were positive for IgM detection, and more than 96% (29/30) were positive for specific IgG detection to M protein. Based on the capacity to provoke an immune response and its strong antigenic properties, as shown here, and the fact that it is also involved in the virion entry into host cells, the M protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a good antigen has the potential in diagnostic purposes and vaccine design.
