Abnova provides a fully integrated platform for high sensitivity and specificity quantification of COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies. It consists of neutralizing antibody blockade of lentivirus pseudotyped with COVID-19 spike (S) protein with luciferase (Luc) reporter gene interacting with ACE2 expressing 293T cells. Luc expression inside the ACE2 transfected stable 293T cells signifies viral entry and no neutralizing antibody blockade. In contrast, the absence of Luc expression signifies the presence of neutralizing antibody. Luc reporter system enables a high-sensitivity measurement of antibody neutralization. The platform’s specificity is determined by the pseudovirus S protein. Pseudovirus with different S proteins can constructed and generated for each COVID-19 variant (B1.1.7, B1.351, B.1.1.28.1, B.1.617.2, and B.1.1.529) to differentiate neutralizing antibodies targeting specific variants.
