Abstract

The HAT-FIELD project, coordinated by Etienne Joly (UMR (5089) - Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology (IPBS) - CNRS Toulouse) aims to develop an extremely simple and very inexpensive serological test that allows detect the antibodies directed against the RBD domain of the SARS-2 virus by means of a hemagglutination reaction detectable with the naked eye. This test, called HAT, which can be performed without any specialized equipment, has shown a sensitivity greater than 90% and a specificity of 99%.
