Safe Pseudovirus-based Assay for Neutralization Antibodies against Influenza A(H7N9) Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 Serologic studies are urgently needed to assist in understanding an outbreak of influenza A(H7N9) virus. However, a biosafety level 3 laboratory is required for conventional serologic assays with live lethal virus.

Neutralizing Antibody Response following a Third Dose of the mRNA-1273 Vaccine among Cancer Patients
Vaccines, 2023 Cancer patients are at an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2 infection and have a decreased immune response to vaccination. We conducted a study measuring both the neutralizing and total antibodies in cancer patients following a ...

TESTING κ-POINCARÉ WITH NEUTRAL KAONS [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 2000 In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called "κ" deformations of Poincaré symmetries. Sensitivity to values of the relevant deformation length λ as small as 5×10-33 m has been achieved in recent analyses comparing the structure of κ-Poincaré symmetries ...

mSphere, 2021 Neutralization tests are the most reliable assay for flavivirus antibody detection; however, these assays are not suitable for high-throughput processing due to their time-consuming and labor-intensive nature.

THE HOMOZYGOSITY TEST OF NEUTRALITY [PDF]
Genetics, 1978 ABSTRACT An earlier paper showed that the homozygosity (of a population or sample) was a good statistic for testing departures from selective neutrality in the direction of heterozygote advantage or disadvantage. It is here shown that homozygosity is also influenced by the presence of deleterious alleles and by other departures from ...

Low seroprevalence of Zika virus infection among adults in Southern Taiwan
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019 Background We recently conducted a serosurvey of newly arrived workers in Taiwan from four Southeast Asian countries which revealed that 1% of the migrant workers had laboratory-confirmed recent Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. Taiwan, where Aedes mosquitoes

Neutrality Tests for Sequences with Missing Data [PDF]
Genetics, 2012 Abstract Missing data are common in DNA sequences obtained through high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore, samples of low quality or problems in the experimental protocol often cause a loss of data even with traditional sequencing technologies. Here we propose modified estimators of variability and neutrality tests that can be naturally

Novel Thogotovirus Associated with Febrile Illness and Death, United States, 2014
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 A previously healthy man from eastern Kansas, USA, sought medical care in late spring because of a history of tick bite, fever, and fatigue. The patient had thrombocytopenia and leukopenia and was given doxycycline for a presumed tickborne illness.
