The Effects of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Viability of the SARS Coronavirus
TL;DR: The better stability of SARS coronavirus at low temperature and low humidity environment may facilitate its transmission in community in subtropical area during the spring and in air-conditioned environments, which may explain why some Asian countries in tropical area did not have major community outbreaks of Sars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the NucliSens easyMAG and Qiagen BioRobot 9604 Nucleic Acid Extraction Systems for Detection of RNA and DNA Respiratory Viruses in Nasopharyngeal Aspirate Samples
Kwok-Hung Chan,Wing-Cheong Yam,Chiu Mei Pang,Kit Man Chan,Siu Yan Lam,Kam Fai Lo,Leo L.M. Poon,J. S. Malik Peiris +7 more
TL;DR: The NucliSens easyMAG and BioRot 9604 automated nucleic acid extraction systems were evaluated and compared with the manual QIAamp (Qiagen) extraction method for their abilities to extract nucleic acids from nasopharyngeal aspirate samples for the detection of RNA and DNA respiratory viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of antibody avidity assays for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection.
Kwok-Hung Chan,K. Sonnenberg,Matthias Niedrig,Siu Yan Lam,Chiu Mei Pang,Kit Man Chan,Siu-Kit Ma,Wing-Hong Seto,Joseph S. M. Peiris +8 more
TL;DR: IgG antibody avidity assays gave better discrimination between acute-phase and late-convalescent-phase serum samples than IgM, IgA, or IgGAM assays, and showed that assays to detect low-avidity antibody may be useful for discriminating early from late antibody responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation and Validation of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay and an Immunochromatographic Test for Serological Diagnosis of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Ming Guan,Kwok-Hung Chan,J. S. Malik Peiris,See Wai Kwan,Siu Yan Lam,Chiu Mei Pang,KW Chu,Kit Man Chan,Hsiao Ying Chen,Ewe Beng Phuah,Caiqin Jane Wong +10 more
TL;DR: A newly developed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was further validated to confirm cutoff values and evaluate its diagnostic performance with clinical samples, and an immunochromatographic test was also evaluated.
