Shots:

• Roche allied with Moderna to utilize the Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 S Ab test in mRNA-1273 study. The collaboration will facilitate the quantitative measurement of SARS-CoV-2 Abs and help to establish a correlation b/w vaccine-induced protection and levels of anti-RBD Abs
• The alliance follows US FDA’s EUA for the Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 S Ab test. Moderna’s vaccine is in late-stage trials with 30-000+ participants- showed the efficacy of 94% in preventing COVID-19- and is designed to trigger an Ab response to proteins found on the coronavirus spike’s receptor-binding domain
• Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 is an immunoassay for the qualitative- in vitro detection of Abs (including IgG) to SARS-CoV-2
