Since its discovery as a part of the bacterial defense mechanism, the Nobel Prize-winning technology CRISPR-Cas system has revolutionized the fields of genome editing and genetic engineering. Beyond gene-editing ability, scientists have leveraged its potential in the diagnosis of infectious diseases including COVID-19.

This book provides a detailed understanding of CRISPR-based rapid and point-of-care diagnostic kits like SHERLOCK, DETECTR, FELUDA, AIOD CRISPR-Cas12a, etc. for the diagnosis of infectious diseases including COVID-19; the importance of isothermal nucleic acid amplification processes like RPA and LAMP; and how the results of the CRISPR-based tests can be interpreted using paper-based lateral flow strips.

Because of the ease of performing the test and simple interpretation of the test results, CRISPR-based tests can be used at airports, ports, clinics, schools, etc., for better disease diagnosis, monitoring, management, and containment of infectious diseases like COVID-19.

Additionally, this book discusses Monoclonal Antibodies, which have revolutionized the treatment for cancer, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, etc. This book also talks about various strategies to isolate monoclonal antibodies from the COVID-19 recovered people and different ways to engineer these antibodies using hybridoma technology.
