Attana Diagnostics announced the deepened collaboration between Attana and Linnaeus University is well under way and project preparation has been completed including the installation of a new Attana system and recruitment and training of project personnel. Non-clinical diagnostic testing will commence in the coming weeks with preliminary results scheduled for release in second quarter. As previously communicated, the initial work will focus on assay optimization and benchmarking of the AttanaSARS-CoV-2 immunoassay. However, in light of the most recent COVID research showing reduced vaccine efficacy and therapeutic antibody response against certain SARS-CoV-2 virus variants, the project scope has been expanded to also look at how antibody interactions differ across the latest SARS-CoV-2 virus variants (SA, UK and NY).
