  • High-throughput complement-mediated antibody-dependent and opsonic bactericidal assays
    Patent number: 9365885
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and kits for performing automated high-throughput assays to measure bactericidal activity in samples, such as plasma or sera from vaccinated subjects to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines against bacterial pathogens. The method combines obligatory linear-range data analysis, plate sealing and liquid volume handling for all assay steps to provide an automated, high-throughput measurement of bactericidal activity with favorable inter-assay and inter-operator variability.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Inventors: Puiying Annie Mak, George Santos, Jeffrey Eugene Janes, John J. Donnelly
