Abstract:

Nucleic acid amplification test is the gold standard for the diagnosis of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19). However,it is inherently difficult to scale up with the reason that it is equipment dependent,technician dependent and time consuming. Recently,relevant departments issued the guidance on severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2(SARS-CoV-2)antigen test providing guidance for carrying out SARS-CoV-2 antigen test in specific populations,representing a valuable resource in effort to halt the current pandemic. This review aims to briefly summarize the performance of SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.

Key words: Severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2, Antigen, Lateral flow immunochromatography assay, Quality control
