Biomarkers
Research Question
- Identify biomarkers for coronaviruses
- (see sections 5 -biomarkers for host response- and 7 -host-pathogen interaction)
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Are immunological antigens common amongst different CoVs?
- Difficult to identify specific biomarkers for diagnostics e.g. for FIP
Solution Routes
- Study conserved regions of N protein for pan coronavirus serological detection
