A METHOD FOR DETECTING MERS CORONAVIRUS USING MERS CORONAVIRUS NUCLEOCAPSID FUSION PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention relates to a nucleocapsid fusion protein comprising N-terminal and C-terminal domain fragments of the MERS coronavirus nucleocapsid protein, a method for detecting MERS coronavirus using a monoclonal antibody derived from the fusion protein and a detection kit to be used therefor. According to the present invention, the presence of MERS coronavirus-related antibody in the target sample can be effectively confirmed, and the MERS coronavirus infection can be quickly diagnosed.
