  • Publication number: 20230279078
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins and trimers containing such spike proteins. The present disclosure also provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The proteins, trimers, and antibodies can be used, for example, to detect anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in sample obtained from a subject.

  • Publication number: 20050147961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunoassay for simultaneously measuring the presence of antibodies to a plurlity of HPV types that utilizes particle-based flow cytometric analysis. The presence and/or titre of neutralizing antibodies in a test sample are determined in a competitive format, where known, type-specific, fluorescently labeled neutralizing monoclonal antibodies compete with antibodies within a test sample for binding to conformationally sensitive, neutralizing epitopes on specific HPV-VLPs. The invention also provides a microsphere complex comprising a microsphere coupled to an HPV VLP.
