A pseudovirus neutralization assay is used to assess the ability of antibodies to neutralize the infectivity of a pseudovirus, which are created by packaging a non-replicating viral genome with the envelope proteins or surface antigens of another virus. Pseudoviruses are designed for various research purposes, particularly in virology and immunology, to study the infectivity and neutralization of specific viral proteins or antigens.

PSEUDOVIRUS NEUTRALIZATION ASSAY SERVICES

Antibodies against rVSV-SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan strain) were tested in a Pseudovirus Neutralization Assay

Ab1 and Ab2 are antibodies tested against pseudovirus rVSV-SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan strain) in our Pseudovirus NeutralizationAssay (PsVNA). Both antibodies exhibit similar neutralization profiles and have comparable neutralizing activity. A commercially available IgG1 anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody is included as a positive control.

Antibodies against rVSV-MARV-Angola were tested in a Pseudovirus Neutralization Assay

Antibodies 1-5 were assessed for the neutralization capability against rVSV-MARV Angola in a pseudovirus neutralization assay. All antibodies demonstrate neutralization of rVSV-MARV Angola. The neutralization curves for Antibodies 1 and 2 have similar profiles and more neutralizing potency is observed in Antibodies 1 and 2 when compared to Antibodies 3, 4, and 5.

The pseudovirus neutralization assay is a valuable methodology in virology and immunology for studying the neutralizing capacity of antibodies against specific viral proteins or antigens. The pseudovirus neutralization assay is based on the principle that neutralizing antibodies have the capacity to block the infectivity of pseudoviruses, which express the surface proteins of the target virus. This assay allows the study of specific antibodies that target viral entry mechanisms.
