The method for qualitative determination of IgG anti-S1 and IgG anti-S2 specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). The specific recombinant S1 and S2 antigens are used for coating magnetic particles (solid phase) and mouse monoclonal antibodies to human IgG are linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies present in calibrators, samples, or controls bind to the solid phase through the recombinant S1 and S2 antigens. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with IgG to SARS-CoV-2 already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of the presence of IgG to SARS-CoV2 in calibrators, samples, or controls.
