SARS-CoV-2 Assays To Detect Functional Antibody Responses That Block ACE2 Recognition in Vaccinated Animals and Infected Patients 2020-10-21 .txt text/plain 4793 274 55 title: SARS-CoV-2 Assays To Detect Functional Antibody Responses That Block ACE2 Recognition in Vaccinated Animals and Infected Patients The first assay is surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based and can quantitate both antibody binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and blocking to the Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in a single experiment. The second assay is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based and can measure competition and blocking of the ACE2 receptor to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with antispike antibodies. Four of the six guinea pigs immunized against SARS-CoV-2 spike showed statistically significant ACE2 blocking, and importantly, the pooled sera was comparable to the average AUC from all six serum samples (Fig. 3F, Fig. S2D ). First, we showed that an ELISA-based assay could be employed to measure receptor blocking antibodies in animals vaccinated with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. ./cache/cord-293382-uyat0w58.txt ./txt/cord-293382-uyat0w58.txt
