COVID-19 Vaccine Research and Development and Clinical Trials
The immune response to vaccination is multifaceted, with elements of the innate and adaptive immune response reacting to the target immunogen. Capturing the antibody response is one aspect that can be used to determine a vaccine's efficacy.
The Bio-Plex SARS-CoV-2 serology and neutralization antibody assays enable you to:
- Detect antibody response to specific viral subunits and quantitatively measure neutralizing antibodies to understand each protein’s immunogenicity profile
- Monitor dosing levels and efficacy in preclinical and clinical trials
- Determine effectiveness of vaccine over time through seropositive results during post-market surveillance

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Assays for Public Health Studies

Surveying the seroprevalence of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is key to understanding local infection and exposure rates in specific areas or institutions. Because some people are asymptomatic and may not know they have been infected, population studies are crucial in modeling transmission in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bio-Plex SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Assays provide flexible options to measure anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in a population. Samples can be assayed to measure any combination of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid, receptor-binding domain, spike 1, and spike 2 viral proteins.
