The Spike Trimer (S1+S2) (B.1.1.529 BA.1, Omicron Variant) (SARS-CoV-2): ACE2 Inhibitor Screening Chemiluminescence Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling inhibitors or neutralizing antibodies of the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant Spike Trimer and human ACE2. The SARS-CoV-2 Spike Trimer, included in the kit, provides a biologically relevant model for the investigation of SARS-CoV-2/ACE2 interaction.

The assay requires only a few steps. First, SARS-CoV-2 Spike Trimer (B.1.1.529 BA.1, Omicron Variant) is coated on a 96-well plate overnight. After washing and blocking, the protein is pre-incubated with an inhibitor or neutralizing antibody. Upon subsequent incubation with Biotin-ACE2, the plate is treated with Streptavidin-HRP followed by addition of chemiluminescence HRP substrate to produce the luminescence signal.
