  • Publication number: 20210389308
    Abstract: Provided are devices, systems, methods and kits for determining whether a subject is immune to an infection by a disease-causing pathogen by measuring neutralizing antibodies against the disease-causing pathogen in a biological sample from the subject. The devices, systems, methods, and kits described herein are useful for confirming whether a vaccine against the disease-causing pathogen has elicited enough neutralizing antibodies to prevent a later infection, or lessen severity of disease caused by, the disease-causing pathogen. Such devices, systems, methods, and kits are also useful for detecting an infection in the subject.
