Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2, 2019-nCoV) infection, a newly emerged novel coronavirus spreading worldwide. Current efforts are focusing on development of specific antiviral drugs. Therapeutic neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against SARS-CoV-2(SARS2, 2019-nCoV) will be greatly important therapeutic agents for the treatment of COVID-19. The availability of therapeutic NAbs against SARS-CoV-2 will offer benefits for the control of the current pandemic and the possible re-emergence of the virus in the future, and their development therefore remains a high priority.

GeneMedi’s NAbs has been validated to reduce SARS-CoV-2 lentivirus-based pseudo virus infectivity and thereby blocking the entry of the Coronavirus to its effector/targeting cell: human ACE2-HEK293T cell.

GeneMedi’s NAbs has been validated by

SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) pseudotype virus (pseudovirus, PSV) for COVID-19 related vaccines and neutralizing antibodies evaluation.

The outbreak of COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV), has been a global public health threat and caught the worldwide concern. Due to its high pathogenicity and infectivity1, live SARS-CoV-2 should be handled under biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) conditions. GeneMedi has developed SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus production system, from which the SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus can be handled in biosafety level 2 (BSL-2)2.

GeneMedi’s SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) pseudotype virus (pseudovirus, PSV) based neutralization assay is a standard evaluation procedure for COVID-19 related vaccines and neutralizing antibodies potency evaluation. GeneMedi’s SARS-CoV-2 PSV is the core ingredient of diagnostics for neutralization serology after vaccinotherapy.

GeneMedi’s SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus includes wildtype and the spike mutation variants (D614G, S943P, V367F, G476S, V483A, H49Y, Q239K, A831V, P1263L, D839Y/N/E: D839Y, D839N, D839E). The GeneMedi’s SARS-CoV2 PSV panel help for all-in-one vaccinotherapy evaluation.

Application-SARS-CoV-2(2019nCoV) Pseudotyped Virus Based Neutralization Assay3

In the Pseudovirus-Based Neutralization Assay (PBNA), the inhibition of viral entry into cells by neutralizing antibodies is correlated to the decreased levels of firefly luciferase signals in the ACE2 expression cells (hACE2-HEK293T, Cat. GM-SC-293T-hACE201) . GeneMedi’s Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay (PBNA) is a conventional assay method that is suitable for High-Throughout Screening (HTS) without live virus engaged. The Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay can be used for evaluating: 1) Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs)3,4 2) Peptides blockers5,6 (peptide inhibitors) or protein7,8 3) Types of Vaccines (Immunized serum)9 4) Compounds targeting Spike induced cell-fusion10.

4.Remove the medium of efforter cell in 96-well, add 100ul PSV-Sample mixture to 96well cells for infection. 3wells for a group.

5.Fluorescence imaging (RFP) 72hrs after SARS-CoV-2 PSV infection. The firefly luciferase reporter is measured by following the Promega Luciferase Assay Reagent manual.

Tips

 

If your samples are serum
A standard curve should be generated using serially diluted Nabs (neutralizing antibodies) as a positive control.

If your samples are therapeutic antibodies or peptides candidates
Dilute the samples into concentration gradient for IC50 value evaluation.
