A group of renowned medical scientists from South Korea has published the findings of a study performed on MERS patients in Nature journal. They used Anti-MERS-CoV S1 ELISA kit obtained from Alpha Diagnostic International (ADI) to measure specific antibody responses to the MERS-CoV spike protein S1 domain. The study concluded that the correlation of the virological and immunological responses with disease severity and mortality, as well as their responses to current antiviral therapy, may have prognostic significance during the early phase of MERS.

Title of article:
