  • A VIRUS NEUTRALIZATION ASSAY UTILIZING IMAGING CYTOMETRY
    Publication number: 20210293818
    Abstract: The instant invention describes a virus reduction neutralization test (VRNT) which is a rapid, high throughput alternative to current standard low throughput and laborious neutralization assays. The VRNT utilizes imaging cytometry to count virus-infected cells at about one day post-infection (thus eliminating the wait time other assays employ allowing for viral infection cell to cell), reducing overall assay time and increasing throughput at least 15-fold.
