  • Linked to this as this lab also collaborated with the OUTCASST lab

MANTIS- Modular Antigen-Based Test for Infections Diseases

  • point-of-care diagnostic, used in the field with minimal training and equipment
  • Blood sample taken, antigens bound to CpxB on extracellular domain and CpxA activated which dimerizes CPxR which results in fluorescence which can be detected with 3D printed device- also stores GPS location
  • Does not need protein purification, so much cheaper and less time, the cells can be grown in a few days
  • Will require cell culturing course
