This video showcases an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or ELISA sandwich immunocapture assay designed to assess immunogenic glycoprotein levels in vaccines. The assay plate, containing glycoprotein-specific antibodies, is incubated with serially diluted vaccine samples, including reference and test vaccines, followed by immunoassay to quantify glycoprotein content in the test vaccine.
Protocol
1. Security precautions NOTE: This method is applicable to both live rabies virus (RABV) and inactivated vaccine. Use good Laboratory Practice and Safety procedures. Wear adequate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) including disposable coat, gloves, masks, glasses, etc. When the live virus is titrated, use a class II biological safety cabinet. Consider any material in contact with the samples (reagents, washing solu…
