Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and is capable of human-to-human transmission and rapid global spread. Thus, the establishment of high-quality viral detection and quantification methods, and the development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents are critical.
Here, we present the rapid detection of infectious SARS-CoV-2 particles using a plaque assay with 0.5% agarose-ME (Medium Electroosmosis) as an overlay medium.
The plaques were capable of detecting the virus within 36-40 h post-infection. In addition, we showed that a monogalactosyl diacylglyceride isolated from a microalga (Coccomyxa sp. KJ) could inactivate the clinical isolates of SARS-CoV-2 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner.
These results would allow rapid quantification of the infectious virus titers and help develop more potent virucidal agents against SARS-CoV-2.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)是 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的病原体,能够在人与人之间传播,并迅速在全球范围内传播。因此,建立高质量的病毒检测和定量方法以及开发抗 SARS-CoV-2 药物至关重要。
在这里,我们使用含有 0.5%琼脂糖-ME(中电渗)的平板测定法,快速检测传染性 SARS-CoV-2 颗粒。
感染后 36-40 小时即可检测到病毒斑。此外,我们表明,从微藻(Coccomyxa sp. KJ)中分离出的单半乳糖基二酰基甘油可以以时间和浓度依赖的方式使 SARS-CoV-2 的临床分离物失活。
这些结果将允许快速定量传染性病毒滴度,并有助于开发针对 SARS-CoV-2 的更有效的病毒杀灭剂。
