ORF7a

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), formerly known as 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease, is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a virus closely related to the SARS virus (1). The disease is the cause of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak (2). SARS-CoV-2 virus proteins include structural proteins, non-structural proteins and accessory factors. The structure of SARS-CoV-2 consists of the following: a spike protein (S), hemagglutinin-esterease dimer (HE), a membrane glycoprotein (M), an envelope protein (E) a nucleoclapid protein (N) and RNA. SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein is ORF1ab that consists of 16 proteins (nsp1-nsp16), while accessory factors include ORF3a, ORF3b, ORF6, ORF7a, ORF7b, ORF8, ORF9b, ORF7a and ORF7a. ORF7a plays a role as antagonist of host tetherin (BST2), disrupting its antiviral effect. It acts by binding to BST2 thereby interfering with its glycosylation. It may suppress small interfering RNA (siRNA) and may bind to host ITGAL, thereby playing a role in attachment or modulation of leukocytes (3).

Figure 1 ELISA Validation
Antibodies: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) ORF7a Antibody, 9283. A direct ELISA was performed using SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a immunogen peptide (9283P)) as coating antigen and the anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) ORF7a antibody as the capture antibody. Secondary: Goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate at 1:20000 dilution. Detection range is from 0.3 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL
