FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention relates to the methods and systems for detecting pathogenic infection including SARS-CoV-2 infection. The present inventions relate to a simple, quick and high-throughput isothermal cycling nucleic acid amplification system of detecting genetic material from pathogenic microorganisms, e.g. SARS-COV-2 in samples from patients. The present invention also provides tools for use in the method provided herein.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The emergence of widespread epidemics and pandemics caused by virulent microorganisms has led to the growing need for rapid, cost-effective and efficient methods for detection of pathogenic infections in patient samples, in order to administer the appropriate treatment for curing the pathogenic infection. The severe acute respiratory syndrome initiated by coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged toward the end of 2019, and by March 2020 was declared a global pandemic. The disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 is referred to as COVID-19 and has a range of clinical effects on infected populations, ranging from mild symptoms to potentially life-threatening clinical expressions of the disease. The fatality rate for COVID-19 is currently estimated to be approximately 3.7% overall, and is age-dependent, disproportionately affecting those over 60 years of age or who have pre-existing conditions, including cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. COVID-19 pathophysiology has overlapping characteristics with diseases associated with previous coronavirus outbreaks, such as SARS and MERS. As with SARS and MERS, COVID-19 affects the pulmonary system, and severe cases are associated with aggressive inflammation and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) produced by viral replication and exuberant inflammatory responses. Uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and CRS are complications resulting in severe symptoms and death in certain COVID-19 patients. RT-PCR is one of the widely used methods for detecting the presence of genetic material from pathogenic microorganisms including SARS-CoV-2 in patient samples. However, variable factors like template quality due to nucleic acid extraction process, operator variability and the complicated and costly RT steps, that make real-time RT-PCR appear to be a fragile assay that makes accurate data interpretation difficult. Thus, there exists a need in the art for additional methods for detecting pathogenic infections like SARS-CoV-2 infections. This disclosure provides methods, systems and tools for the detection of the presence of pathogenic genetic material, like SARS-CoV-2 RNA in patient samples, for administering effective treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [00026] The sudden global spread of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), the disease associated with severe acute respiratory infection syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral infection, has spurred a need for new methods of diagnosis, treatment, and risk assessment. Over 1 million cases in over 200 countries have been reported as of April 2020, less than 6 months following the original outbreak reported in Wuhan, China. While symptoms are mild for many COVID-19 patients, severe disease occurs in up to 20% of cases and the fatality rate is estimated to be between 3-4%. With no validated antiviral treatments currently available, there exists a desperate need for new methods and systems for diagnosis of COVID-19, treatment, and risk assessment (Zhang 2020). Recent pandemics and epidemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of diagnostic testing in outbreak control. Ending the pandemic involves the accurate application of diagnostic testing in high volumes and the rapid use of the results to help implement the appropriate therapy and prevent further spread. (Vandenberg 2020). There is an urgent need and value of diagnostics in the management of the current COVID-19 pandemic as well as epidemics caused by other pathogens, especially for the molecular detection of the pathogen. Test design, validation and verification, emergency use approval and the manufacturing of test kits in high numbers are just a few examples of obstacles in implementation of such diagnostics. The setting up of high-throughput diagnostic pipelines, the logistics involved and the optimization of pragmatic use of test results were encountered as important problems in a routine-diagnostic microbiology laboratory, during any epidemic or pandemic, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
[00027] Direct diagnostic testing to detect active SARS-CoV-2 infections mostly involves reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (RT-PCR), although different molecular technologies, such as CRISPR-mediated detection or loop mediated isothermal amplification, have also been applied. However, in comparison with RT-PCR, rapid antigen detection tests lack sensitivity, and owing to the increased risk of false-negative results, they are considered as an adjunct to RT- PCR tests. (Vandenberg 2020; Lalli, M. A, medRxiv 2020; Kitagawa, Y., J. Clin. Virol., 2020; Lamb, L. E., PLoS ONE, 2020, Huang, Z., Biosens. Bioelectron., 2020; Guo, L., Cell Discov. 2020; Nagura- Ikeda, M. et ah, J. Clin. Microbiol., 2020). Thus, there is a need for rapid, cost effective and accurate diagnostic methods and tools for accurately determining the presence of SARS-COV-2 infections in patients, to provide effective treatment options.

[00048] LAMP and RT-LAMP assay
[00049] Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a technology that provides nucleic acid amplification in a short time using 6 specially designed primers for each target gene, and a DNA polymerase with chain displacement activity. The specialized version of DNA polymerase with strand displacement activity bypasses the need of DNA denaturation by heat. Since the LAMP method only needs one constant temperature (usually in the range 60-70 °C), the performance device can be simpler and therefore cheaper and smaller than a thermal cycler. [00050] If the template is RNA, the amplification reaction can be accomplished in one step by adding a reverse transcriptase and is therefore called reverse transcription LAMP (RT-LAMP). Compared to commonly used polymerases for PCR, the Bacillus stearothermophilus ( Bst ) polymerase used in LAMP is highly tolerable to inhibitors present in clinical samples. Typically, 4 different primers are used to amplify 6 distinct regions on the target gene, which increases specificity. An additional pair of "loop primers" can further accelerate the reaction. Two of the primers are inner primers (FIP and BIP), which serve as base for the Bst enzyme to copy the template into a new DNA. The outer primers (F3 and B3) anneal to the template strand and help the reaction to proceed.
[00051] The RT-LAMP procedure starts by making DNA from the sample RNA. This conversion is made by a reverse transcriptase, derived from a retrovirus to generate a complementary DNA (cDNA). The FIP primer is used by the reverse transcriptase to build a single-strand DNA complementary to the target DNA. The F3 primer binds to this side of the template strand as well, and displaces the previously made copy. This displaced, single-stranded copy DNA is a mixture of sequences from the target RNA and the primers. The primers are designed to have a sequence that binds to the sequence itself, forming a loop. The BIP primer binds to the other end of this single strand and is used by the Bst DNA polymerase to build a complementary strand, making double-strand DNA. The F3 primer binds to this end and displaces, once again, this newly generated single-stranded DNA molecule.
[00052] This new single strand that has been released will act as the starting point for the LAMP cycling amplification. This single- stranded DNA has a dumbbell-like structure as the ends fold and self-bind, forming two loops. The DNA polymerase and the FIP or BIP primers keep amplifying this strand and the LAMP -reaction product is extended. This cycle can be started from either the forward or backward side of the strand using the appropriate primer. Once this cycle has begun, the strand undergoes self-primed DNA synthesis during the elongation stage of the amplification process. This amplification takes place in less an hour, under isothermal conditions between 60 and 70 °C.
[00053] The read out of RT-LAMP tests can be done using either a) colorimetric methods by measuring either drop in pH or drop in magnesium ions in the reaction mixture or b) fluorometric methods by measuring level of binding of intercalating DNA dye to the DNA loop structures generated by the amplification process. See Becherer L. et al., Anal. Methods, 2020, Vol. 12, p. 717, and Notomi T. et al., Nucleic Acid Res, 2000 Vol 28 Nol2, the contents of each of the foregoing are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Example 1: Description of assay used in method and kit for detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in subjects
[000353] Provided herein is a study that describes and evaluates the specificity and efficacy of the method and kit of the disclosure for detecting the presence or absence of a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a subject by detecting the combined expression levels of three SARS-COV-2 specific genes, SARS-CoV-2 ORF1, SARS-CoV-2 N, and SARS-CoV-2 A in a biological sample from the subject using a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay, described herein. A stepwise execution of the method described herein is described in FIG. 1.
[000354] Assay Overview: The RT-LAMP assay used in the method and performed using the kit described herein, uses three SARS-CoV-2 specific primer sets to uniquely identify SARS- CoV-2 viral RNA. The first primer set targets the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene (N) (SARS- CoV-2 E), the second primer set targets the envelope gene (E) ( SARS-CoV-2 E), and a third primer set that targets the ORF1 gene (al) ( SARS-CoV-2 ORF1). The nucleic acid sequences of the three sets of primers described herein are provided in Table 1. The assay was designed for rapid and high throughput processing of samples in 96 or 384 well formats. The assay described herein uses a provided green, fluorescent dye, to be used for each reaction together with the reaction mix. Each sample was run in duplicates to ensure accuracy and reproducibility. The end- point visualization was achieved using any instalment with the following wavelength capacity: excitation 470 ±10 nm, emission 520 ±10 nm.
[000355] Both reverse transcription and LAMP reactions for the assay described herein were done at 65 °C using the enzyme mixture of reverse transcriptase and Bst (Bacillus Stearothermophilus) DNA polymerase. The LAMP primers were target specific oligonucleotides, and the intercalating fluorescent dye emits fluorescence detectable in the FAM channel (emission at 520 ±10 nm). The emission signals were detected by fluorescence readers in RT-PCR systems or plate readers. The disclosed set of six LAMP primers per gene (total twenty four primers) were target specific and annealed to complementary sequences in the viral (Sars-CoV-2) and endogenous (18S RNA) genes and were amplified by the mechanism of Reverse Transcription Loop Amplification (RT-LAMP) to form long double strands of DNA which were monitored in a real-time fashion by the intercalating dye emission of fluorescence. [000356] In the assay described herein, the fluorescence was detected without manipulation of the product or opening the reaction tube and can be monitored by the fluorescence reader on the Applied Biosystems real-time PCR platform or measuring end-point fluorescence in plate readers like Tecan Infinite 200. In addition, the kit described herein utilized two external positive (PC) controls and one negative template control (NC).The SARS-CoV-2 PC was a plasmid that contains the Sars-CoV-2 N-gene (GenBank: MN908947.3) extensively used for LAMP and RT- qPCR assay validation. The 18S RNA PC was DNA purified from human HeLa (cervix adenocarcinoma) cells grown in DMEM plus 10% FBS. The NC contains nuclease-free water. [000357] Assay Step Description
[000358] Specimens/samples including oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs, anterior nasal and mid-turbinate nasal swabs were collected in Mawi’s iSwab-EL collection tubes. The sample required no extraction because lysis and viral RNA release was achieved in the tube after collection. Nucleic acids were reverse transcribed using the enzyme mix from the Prime COVID- 19 Extraction less High Throughput Kit. 5pl of the sample were added to 5m1 of the RT-LAMP reaction mix as described in Table 3 below, resulting in the RNA conversion to cDNA which was then subsequently loop amplified. During the amplification, double-stranded DNA was created which is bound by the intercalating dye (See FIG. 1).
Table 3: COVID-19 Extraction less High Throughput reaction set-up.
Figure imgf000151_0001
Reactions were set-up at a recommended temperature of 65°C (30 seconds cycles), and were run for at least 100 cycles (approximately 50 minutes run).
[000359] The controls included in the assay described herein were as follows: a) A “no template” (negative) control (NC) containing nuclease-free water to assure there was no cross contamination and to establish a no reaction baseline for the control and the target and was made once per plate; b) The internal control (18S RNA) to verify the presence of nucleic acid material, test accuracy, performance of the assay, and included in each replicate; c) Two positive controls; d) The two positive controls (PC) to verify that the assay run was performing as intended and are used once per plate to confirm the proper reaction mix performance and therefore, the successful detection of both target gene (N) and control gene (18S RNA).
[000360] The method described herein can be used to detect the expression levels of SARS- CoV-2 ORF1, SARS-CoV-2 N, and SARS-CoV-2 E in upper respiratory specimens including oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs, anterior nasal and mid-turbinate nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal washes/aspirates or nasal aspirates as well as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from individuals suspected of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 RNA. SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens including oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs, anterior nasal and mid turbinate nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal washes/aspirates or nasal aspirates as well as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The Positive results described herein did not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses.
[000361] Data Interpretation Strategy [000362] The assay described herein was validated using the baseline threshold setting which is automatically adjusted by the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 3, QuantStudio 5, QuantStudio 6 real-time PCR instruments or with background Endpoint fluorescence measurements using a plate reader like Tecan Infinite 200 Pro. All positive, negative and internal controls were examined prior to interpretation of patient results. If the controls were not valid, the patient results were not interpretable. Negative control (NC): NC reactions did exhibit any fluorescence growth curves (Ct) that crossed the threshold line < cycle 80. Similarly, if assessed on a plate reader like the Tecan Infinite 200, the NC reactions did not exhibit a signal greater than a 2-fold increase in fluorescence compared to the background fluorescence (e.g., empty well). If any NC reaction showed amplification of ORF1/N/E or 18sRNA genes, the run was invalidated, and testing was repeated using the same NC and residual nucleic acid from clinical samples. Positive control (PC): PC reactions for both Target (Sars-CoV-2) and endogenous control (18s RNA) genes yielded a fluorescence signal above the background within the fluorescence channel used. If the PC reactions did not exhibit positive amplification for the target genes, indicating LAMP inhibition, or thermocycler/kit malfunction. The run was invalidated, and the assay was repeated using the same PC and residual nucleic acid from clinical samples. Internal Control (IC): Failure to detect 18sRNA in any clinical specimen indicated any one or more of: Improper/inefficient extraction of nucleic acid from clinical materials; Loss of nucleic acids and/or degradation; Absence of sufficient human cellular material due to poor collection or loss of specimen integrity; Improper assay set up and execution; and Reagents or equipment malfunction. The data interpretation for control validation is described in Table 4 below.
Table 4: Data interpretation for quality control validation

Figure imgf000153_0001
[000363] Result interpretation: Assessment of clinical specimen test results was performed after the positive and negative controls were examined and determined to be valid and acceptable. If the controls were not valid, the patient results were determined to be uninterpretable. A specimen was determined as positive for Sars-CoV-2 if detection occurred for both target (ORF1/E/N) and endogenous (18S RNA) genes. The details of the process of results interpretation is described in Table 5 below.

[000364] Performance evaluation of assay: Described herein is a performance evaluation of the LAMP-assay used in the method and kit described herein.
[000365] Analytical Sensitivity
[000366] Limit of Detection (LoD): The limit of detection (LoD) was defined as the lowest concentration at which approximately 95% of true positive replicates were detected. The LoD was established using the heat inactivated Sars-CoV-2 Virus (Cat# VR-1986 ATCC) spiked into pooled negative anterior nasopharyngeal swabs (n=10 swabs collected from healthy donors tested negative for Sars-CoV-2) collected in Mawi iSwab extraction less buffer (cat# ISM-T- NEL Mawi). 5ul of Input material was used in a final reaction volume of 10 ul. 24 replicates were analyzed, and samples were called negative if no amplification was detected before cycle 80 of the LAMP reaction. The LoD determination of the assay used in the method and Kit described herein was 80 copies/pL, which was the lowest concentration of SARS-CoV-2 at which > 95% of replicates were detected.
[000367] Inclusivity (analytical sensitivity): A homology analysis was conducted for the ORF1, E, and N, primer sets against all complete, high coverage SARS-CoV-2 sequences deposited at GISAID as of April 2, 2020. A total of 2,702 sequences were considered, of which 493, for the N gene and ORF1 region, and 495, for the E gene, were discarded for lack of coverage in their respective regions. Each primer set matched at 100% similarity against the SARS-CoV-2 Ref Seq reference genome (Wuhan-Hu-1; NC 045512.1). In addition, an in-silico inclusivity analysis determined that all three primer sets differed by one or fewer mutations for 100% of GISAID sequences, indicating nominal primer hybridization for all SARS-CoV-2 variants under consideration. The results of the study described herein are provided in Table 6 below.
Table 6: In silico Inclusivity Analysis.
Figure imgf000155_0001
[000368] Cross-reactivity (Analytical Specificity): In silico cross-reactivity analysis was performed by aligning the LAMP primer sequences against sequences of common viruses as well as those coronaviruses most closely related to SARS-CoV-2. The organisms assessed in silico for potential cross-reactivity to the Prime COVID-19 N-gene, E-gene and ORFl region by High Throughput Assay were: COVID-19 (MN908947.3), Human Coronavirus 229E (NC 002645.1), Human Coronavirus OC43 (NC 006213.1), Human Coronavirus HKU1 (NC_006577.2), Human Coronavirus NL63 (NC_005831.2), SARS CoV (NC_004718.3), MERS V (NC_019843.3), Adenovirus, strain ad71 9 (X67709.1), Human Metapneumovirus (NC_039199.1), Parainfluenza virus 1, strain Washington/ 1964 (AF457102.1), Parainfluenza virus 2, strain GREER (AF533012.1), Parainfluenza virus 3, strain HPIV3/MEX/1526/2005 (KF530234.1), Parainfluenza virus 4, strain M-25 (NC_021928.1), Influenza A (H1N1) (FJ966079.1), Influenza A (H3N2) 9 (KT002533.1), Influenza B (Victoria) (MN230203.1), Influenza B (Yamagata) (MK715533.1), Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) 9 (KP745766.1),
Respiratory syncytial virus (U39661.1) and Human rhinovirus 14(NC_001490.1).
[000369] With the exception of SARS CoV, none of the above viruses contain a match against the total sequence length of the SARS-CoV-2 primer sets greater than the recommended threshold of 80%. A threshold of < 80% was considered sufficient to rule out the possibility of a cross pathogen hybridizing event. All pathogens, with the exception of SARS CoV, scored below the 80% threshold. For SARS CoV, the N primer set returned a similarity score of 82.2%, while the E primer set scored 96.4%. The likelihood of a false positive is thus expected to be low, given that SARS CoV is a rare pathogen and there are no known circulating strains of SARS CoV in the human population.
[000370] Cross-Reactivity Wet Testing: In addition to the in-silico analysis for cross reactivity, wet testing was also performed to test cross-reach vity/exclusivity with other organisms: Adenovirus 11 stain Slobitski, Adenovirus , strain: Adenoid 75, Bordetella pertussis strain 18323 [NCTC10739], Candida albicans strain NIH 3172, Chlamydophila Pneumonia strain TWAR strain 2023, Candida albicans strain NIH 3172, Chlamydophila Pneumonia, strain TWAR strain 2023, Enterovirus 70 strain J670/71, Haemophilus influenzae strain NCTC 8143, Human parainfluenza virus 4b strain CH 19503, Human respiratory syncytial virus strain A2, Human rhinovirus 61 strain 6669-CV39 [V-152- 002-021], Mycobacterium Tuberculosis strain H37Ra, Mycoplasma Pneumonia strain Somerson et al.

[000371] Samples were prepared by spiking (inactivated) purified, intact viral particles, cultured RNA, or bacterial cells using those panel s/organi sms mentioned above, into a negative clinical matrix and processed in triplicate with the assay. Because no quantification information was available for the individual organisms that were wet tested, 50 pL of each stock was spiked into a negative clinical matrix and tested. All results of wet bench testing were negative, indicating that the Prime COVID-19 High Throughput Assay is designed for the specific detection of SARS-CoV-2, with no expected cross-reactivity to other coronaviruses, or human microflora that would predict potential false positive LAMP results.
[000372] Endogenous Interference Substances Studies: Interfering substances which could be found in respiratory samples endogenously or exogenously were tested to evaluate the extent, if any, of potential assay inhibition. Baseline anterior nasal swabs were collected in triplicate from study volunteers as negative control samples (without potential interfering substance). The study volunteers then used the interfering substances as recommended by the manufacturer of the substance which should represent the relevant dose. Immediately after the substances were used, anterior nasal swabs were collected in triplicate and spiked with Sars-CoV-2 heat inactivated virus (Cat# VR-1986 ATCC ) at 5X LoD. 100 pL of whole blood and mucin were separately added into the negative clinical matrix in triplicate and then spiked with heat inactivated virus at 5X LoD. The negative swabs that did not contain potentially interfering substances were also spiked with synthetic RNA at 5X LoD. Interfering substances tested were: Tobacco (active ingredient: Nicotine, Tar, Carbon Monoxide, Formaldehyde, Ammonia, Hydrogen Cyanide, Arsenic, and DDT), Marijuana (active ingredient: Cannabinoids, THC, CBD), Alcohol (active ingredient; Ethanol), Vaseline (active ingredient: Petroleum Jelly), Nasal allergy spray (active ingredient: Triamcinolone Acetonide), Nasal congestion spray (active ingredient: Oxymetazoline HC1), Nyquil (Active ingredient: Acetminophen, Doxylamine Succinate, Dextromethorphan HBr), Flonase (active ingredient: Futicasone propionate), Emergen-C (active ingredient: Zinc, Magnesium, Riboflavin, Vitamin C), Saline nasal Spray (active ingredient: NaCL, Phenylcarbinol, Nemalkonium Chloride), Act dry mouth Lozenges (active ingredient: Isomalt, Xylitol, Glycerin), Listerine Mouthwash (active ingredient: Eucalyptol, Menthol, Methyl Salicylate, Thymol), Sore throat and cough lozenges (active ingredient: Benzocaine, Dextromethorphan HBr), Zinc (active ingredient: Zinc) and Chloraseptic Spray (active ingredient: Phenol, Glycerin).
[000373] None of the tested substances inhibited or interfered with the performance of the Prime COVID-19 High Throughput Assay. Swabs both with and without the interfering substance yielded expected results. Based on the results of the study described herein, the assay used in the method and kit of the present disclosure, was shown to be specific for detection of SARS-CoV-2 genes in samples from subjects, without any significant cross-reactivity to other pathogens and/or external interfering substances. Based on the results of the study described herein, the assay used in the method and kit of the present disclosure, is sufficiently standardized and characterized for use in validation of clinical samples.
Example 2: Efficacy and Sensitivity of detection method using RT-LAMP assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in subjects
[000374] Clinical Validation of RT-LAMP assay: Described herein is a study done to validate the method and kit described herein were validated for determining positive (presence of) and negative (absence of) for infection with SARS-CoV-2 in a total of 238 clinical samples (nasopharyngeal swabs) from subjects from Source 1 and Source 2 that were previously diagnosed as positive and negative for COVID-19. The study described herein validated 53 total positive and 88 negative from source 1, and 52 total positive and 45 negative from source 2. The samples from source 1, were previously diagnosed as positive or negative for SARS-CoV-2 using CDC 2019-nCoV Real Time PCR Test.

[000376] Sensitivity determination of RT-LAMP assay and comparison with RT-PCR:
Next the limit of detection (LoD) of the assay described herein was compared with that of standard 1 RT-PCR based assay. The LoD was established using genomic RNA (from positive reference material that contain synthetic RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 genome at the following concentration 1,000 copies/ml) spiked into pooled negative anterior nasopharyngeal swabs collected in Universal Transport Medium (cat# 117, Puritan Medical Products). Each spiked replicate was RNA extracted and processed using the kit disclosed herein. Twenty-four replicates were analyzed, and samples were called negative if no amplification was detected before cycle 80 of the LAMP reaction. The result described herein showed that the sensitivity of the assay described herein was 0.5 copy/mΐ, which is higher than the sensitivity of 1.0 copy/mΐ for standard RT-PCR based assay. The sensitivity of an assay is inversely proportional to the amount or copies of DNA in a volume of the reaction that is required to produce a detectable signal in all samples tested. The result described herein showed that the assay used in the method and kit of the present disclosure demonstrated better sensitivity than the standard RT-PCR based assay. [000377] Next the limit of detection was assessed without RNA extraction. The LoD was established using genomic RNA (from positive reference material that contain synthetic RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 genome at the following concentration 1,000 copies/ml) spiked into pooled negative anterior nasopharyngeal swabs collected in Mawi’s Buffer (cat# ISM-T-NEL-XL Mawi ). Each sample was analyzed in replicates of 24. The result described herein showed that the assay used in the method and kit of the present disclosure demonstrated a LoD of 80 copies/pl (See FIG. 5).
[000378] Based on the study described herein, the method and kit disclosed herein, provide a cost-effective, efficient and accurate alternative to conventional diagnostic methods like RT- PCR, for determination of presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in subjects by detecting in samples of the subjects, the combined expression level of the three SARS-CoV-2 genes described herein.
