To develop and validate confirmatory molecular and serological assays for the accurate laboratory detection of novel human coronavirus (hCoV-EMC) infections.
Developed a confirmatory real-time RT-PCR assay (1A assay) designed to complement the established upE screening assay.
Constructed target-specific RT-PCR sequencing assays directed against the RdRp (RdRpSeq) and N (NSeq) genes to analyze potential insertion and deletion polymorphisms.
Formulated a biologically safe immunofluorescence microscopy protocol utilizing convalescent patient serum for serological antibody detection.
Established a rigorously validated, highly sensitive real-time RT-PCR 1A assay suitable for diagnostic confirmation.
Enabled genetic polymorphism screening across hCoV-EMC strains through specialized RdRpSeq and NSeq amplification.
Achieved a simplified and safe antibody detection framework using immunofluorescence microscopy on convalescent serum.
