With all the key reagents required to measure Spike-antibody binding, these easy-to-use, cell-free kits can be used to identify and qualitatively assess the ability of antibodies to neutralise variant RBD-ACE2 interactions. For more information, please see the information below:
Delta Variant (B.1.617.2)
Our SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to the B.1.617.2 RBD (L452R, T478). In-house data shows that different SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to variably neutralise binding:
NTRL Assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum sample #2 is between 50% and 60% and is therefore positive for the presence of neutralizing antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 serum samples #1 and #3 are >60%, indicating no neutralizing capacity.
Kerala Variant (Kappa/B.1.617.1)
Our SARS-CoV-2 Kerala Variant Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to the B.1.617.1 RBD (E484Q, L452R). In-house data shows that different SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to variably neutralise binding:
NTRL Assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum samples #1 and #2 are <50% and therefore positive for the presence of neutralizing antibodies. Serum sample #3 is 60%, indicating no neutralizing capacity.
South African Variant (Beta/B.1.351/501Y.V2)
Our SARS-CoV-2 South African Variant Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to the B.1.351 RBD (K417N, E484K, N501Y). In-house data shows that SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to neutralise binding:
NTRL Assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum sample #1 is >60%, indicating that neutralizing antibodies are absent.
Brazilian Variant (Gamma/B.1.1.28)
Our SARS-CoV-2 Brazilian Variant Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to the B.1.1.28 RBD (K417T, E484K, N501Y). In-house data shows that SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to neutralise binding:
NTRL Assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum sample #1 is >60%, indicating no neutralizing capacity.
UK Variant (Alpha/B.1.1.7)
Our SARS-CoV-2 UK Variant Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to the N501Y RBD. In-house data shows that SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to neutralise binding:
NTRL Assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum sample #1 is >50% but <60%, indicating moderate neutralizing capacity.
Wild-Type (Wuhan-Hu-1)
Our SARS-CoV-2 Neutralisation Assay Development Kit is designed for the qualitative assessment of neutralising antibodies to wild-type SARS-CoV-2. In-house data shows that different SARS-CoV-2-positive patient sera is able to variably neutralise binding:
NTRL assay: Binding rate (B/B0%) for negative samples is ≥ 60%. Binding rate for strongly positive samples is ≤ 50%. Borderline samples, with moderate neutralization, may be assessed with binding rates between 50-60. Negative and positive control antibodies were included. SARS-CoV-2 serum samples #1, #2 and #3 are < 50% and considered strongly positive indicating SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody is present in these samples. Samples #4, #5 and #6 are derived from SARS patient sera, and show binding of >50%, indicating moderate or negative neutralizing capacity.
