In this video, we show the HiBit-RBD bioreporter system-based assay for detecting SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. This system targets the viral RBD domain by using a bioluminescent reporter system containing HiBiT fused to the RBD domain.
Protocol
1. Detecting anti-RBD antibody with a fast and sensitive assay HiBiT-RBD antibody detection assay Prepare the HiBiT-RBD bioreporter. NOTE: It is recommended to use the supernatant for the following assay as it is simpler to collect and contains the mature glycosylated version of the protein. Moreover, the lysate has several other proteins that could interfere with the HiBiT-RBD-antibody interaction. Combine 50 µL of the HiBiT-RBD-containing supernatant with…
