By systematically creating a truncated library from the two-terminal truncated positive polypeptide R345 (SEQ ID NO. 9), as shown in Table 1, the truncated polypeptides and the monoclonal were identified by indirect ELISAThe antibody reaction, indirect ELISA assay method was performed as described in example 1, and the results of the first antibody using the monoclonal antibody of the present invention are shown in FIG. 6, in which the results of the reaction of the N-terminally truncated polypeptide with the monoclonal antibody are shown on the left and the results of the reaction of the C-terminally truncated polypeptide with the monoclonal antibody are shown on the right, and it can be seen from FIG. 6 that the minimum epitope peptide required for epitope activity is shown "350VYAWN354”(SEQ ID NO.10)。

Example 6 conservation analysis of epitopes
In order to analyze the conservation of the epitope in the currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 strain, the receptor binding site changes occurred in different SARS-CoV-2 virus strains were collected from the GISAID database, and a total of 431,752 SARS-CoV-2 virus data were collected, which revealed that the epitope was highly conserved among different SARS-CoV-2 strains, and no mutation was observed at the site of the epitope.
Example 7 spatial localization and structural analysis of epitopes
The RBD of SARS-CoV-2S protein includes two different conformation forms of "up" and "down", and when all RBD of SARS-CoV-2S protein trimer are in "down" conformation, partial amino acid residues of RBD are concealed, so that some antibodies capable of recognizing the concealed region epitope can not recognize SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2S protein, and can affect the monoclonal antibody binding capacity and accuracy of the immunoassay method established by using corresponding antibody. The spatial distribution and structural characteristics of the epitope (SEQ ID NO. 10) were analyzed by mapping to SARS-CoV-2S protein trimer (PDB ID:7A 95), and as a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the epitope was exposed on the surface of SARS-CoV-2S protein trimer, indicating that the epitope recognition is not affected by the S protein RBD 'up' and 'down' conformational changes, and can effectively recognize SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2S protein in various conformational forms, ensuring the stability of immunoassay.
