Development of a High-Content Orthopoxvirus Infectivity and Neutralization Assays. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Currently, a number of assays measure Orthopoxvirus neutralization with serum from individuals, vaccinated against smallpox. In addition to the traditional plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), newer higher throughput assays are based on ...

Comparison of Plaque Reduction and Focus Reduction Neutralization Tests for the Measurement of Neutralizing Antibody Titers Against Japanese Encephalitis Virus

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Japanese encephalitis is prevalent throughout the temperate and tropical regions of Asia and is caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne viral pathogen. The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) is currently recommended as the gold standard test for detecting human antibodies against JEV.

Comparison of serological assays to titrate Hantaan and Seoul hantavirus-specific antibodies

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2017
Background Hantaan and Seoul viruses, in the Hantavirus genus, are known to cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), as conventional neutralization test for hantaviruses, is laborious and time ...

Viridot: An automated virus plaque (immunofocus) counter for the measurement of serological neutralizing responses with application to dengue virus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
The gold-standard method for quantifying neutralizing antibody responses to many viruses, including dengue virus (DENV), is the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT, also called the immunofocus reduction neutralization test).

A Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test for Human Cytomegalovirus.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1964
SummaryA plaque technique for human cytomegaloviruses has been developed employing human embryonic lung fibroblast cultures and an overlay containing 2% methyl cellulose. Neutralization tests employing the 80% plaque reduction endpoint were found to give reproducible results. Human adult sera exhibited titers of 1:8 to 1:64.

Gamma interferon-dependent clearance of cytomegalovirus infection in salivary glands [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), similar to other members of the Herpesviridae family, can establish both persistent and latent infections. Each of the CMVs that are found in many animal species replicates in the salivary gland, and oral secretion represents a ...

In vivo imaging of Zika virus reveals dynamics of viral invasion in immune-sheltered tissues and vertical propagation during pregnancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Rationale: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic virus known to cause a wide range of congenital abnormalities, including microcephaly, Guillain-Barre syndrome, meningoencephalitis, and other neurological complications, in humans. This study investigated the
