Serological methods such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and virus neutralization test are fundamental tools used in diagnosis, seroepidemiological studies of filovirus transmission/prevalence, and the evaluation of vaccine immunogenicity and potential therapeutic antibodies. Filoviruses have a single transmembrane glycoprotein (GP), which is the only known target of neutralizing antibodies. Here we describe serological methods to quantify filovirus GP-specific antibodies.
酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和病毒中和试验等血清学方法是诊断、丝状病毒传播/流行的血清流行病学研究以及疫苗免疫原性和潜在治疗性抗体评估中使用的基本工具。丝状病毒具有单一跨膜糖蛋白(GP),这是已知的中和抗体唯一靶点。在此,我们描述了定量丝状病毒GP特异性抗体的血清学方法。
