The fact that the infection and the resulting icELISA signal were neutralized by NAbs present in immune sera indicated that the fast and automated icELISA format is applicable for icNTs. Although most SARS-CoV-2 NTs have not been formally validated and certified, classic plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT) are currently considered to represent the gold standard for the detection of SARS-CoV-2-specific NAbs. Various commercially available IgM, IgA, and IgG ELISAs have been compared to PRNTs [e.g., (30) ]. Given the excellent signal-to-noise ratio between infected and uninfected cells, the test was applicable to quantify the efficacy of antiviral compounds, here shown for IFNb, and SARS-CoV-2-specific NAbs present in immune sera. ./cache/cord-284867-p4jgyusp.txt ./txt/cord-284867-p4jgyusp.txt
