Using an infectious molecular clone of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing eGFP as a marker of infection, we replaced the glycoprotein gene (G) with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 (VSV-eGFP-SARS-CoV-2) and developed a high-throughput imaging-based neutralization assay at biosafety level 2. We engineered an infectious molecular clone of vesicular 83 stomatitis virus (VSV) to encode the SARS-CoV-2 S protein in place of the native envelope 84 glycoprotein (G) and rescued an autonomously replication-competent virus bearing the spike. Evaluation of a novel vesicular stomatitis virus pseudotype-based assay for detection of 641 neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV Vesicular stomatitis virus pseudotyped with severe acute 645 respiratory syndrome coronavirus spike protein Retroviruses pseudotyped with the severe acute respiratory 722 syndrome coronavirus spike protein efficiently infect cells expressing angiotensin-converting 723 enzyme 2 ./cache/cord-286390-ytgw3j4s.txt ./txt/cord-286390-ytgw3j4s.txt
