Antigen & Antibody Rapid Test Kit — Technical Guide for Research and Surveillance Workflows
Antigen & Antibody Rapid Test Kits” are lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) designed to detect either pathogen antigens (e.g., nucleocapsid proteins) or host antibodies (IgM/IgG/total Ig) in minutes. This guide focuses on research, surveillance, and method-comparison contexts and avoids clinical claims. Background primers on serologic and antigen testing are available from CDC (serologic testing overview) and
