Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a pathogen in cellular lysate by measuring pathogen-specific enzyme activity. The method comprises contacting the cellular lysate with a substrate the pathogen of interest recognizes and modifies, and obtaining a measurable, recordable, signal. The method may comprise detection of SARS-CoV viruses using the activity of SARS PLpro enzyme in tongue scrape lysate as a readout.
