Impedance‐based monitoring of titration and neutralization assays with VSV‐G and SARS‐CoV‐2‐spike pseudoviruses

Applied Research, Volume 3, Issue 6, December 2024.
Impedance measurements were used to monitor viral infection of host cells and antibody‐based virus neutralization in real time. The time‐dependent impedance profiles showed a stringent correlation with canonical reporter gene assays (green fluorescence protein) that were performed on exactly the same virus/host cell populations.

[Detection and quantitative determination of antigen to the human immunodeficiency virus during development of a test-system for the serodiagnosis of AIDS].

Voprosy virusologii, 1989
One of the variants of IFA using a conjugate on the basis of anti-HIV-IgG was used for control of the content of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen at different stages of production of a test system for serodiagnosis of AIDS. This method permits HIV antigen quantitation in virus lysates, its nonpurified concentrates, and in native culture fluid
