Objective: This study aims to establish a screening method for canine distemper virus (CDV) microneutralizing activity suitable for microvolume samples.
Methods: This method is based on the Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) established on Vero-slam cells. First, by comparing the sensitivities of CDV neutralizing monoclonal antibody (1C42H11) and NP protein monoclonal antibody (CDV-NP) in IFA experiments, CDV-NP was selected as the primary antibody. Then, by detecting the infection rates of multi-concentrations of CDV neutralized with water, the minimum CDV concentration with an infection rate greater than 90% was defined as the minimum stable infection concentration, which was used as the neutralizing solution for this method. Finally, the CDV-positive neutralizing serum (neutralizing titer 1:708) was diluted into multiple dilution groups as test samples, and then neutralized in equal volumes with the neutralizing solution to detect the neutralizing activity detection rates of each dilution group and the lowest detection limit of this method.
Results: The results showed that the neutralizing activity of serum with a CDV neutralizing titer of 1:708 diluted 2 times was the lowest limit of detection, and the detection rate of microneutralizing activity was 63.54 ± 4.774%.
Conclusion: This study established an economical, stable, and easy-to-operate CDV microneutralizing activity high-throughput screening method, laying a methodological foundation for the development of native CDV neutralizing antibodies based on single B cells.

Development of a vaccine for human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) is critical because of the severe consequences of infection in congenitally infected newborns and immunocompromised patients. The assessment of hCMV-neutralizing antibody activity is crucial for vaccine development. This study evaluated a RT-qPCR assay targeting the immediate-early gene transcript of hCMV for determining microneutralizing antibody activity.

Human adenoviruses type 26 (HAdV26) and type 35 (HAdV35) have increasingly become the choice of adenovirus vectors for vaccine application. However, the population pre-existing immunity to these two adenoviruses in China, which may reduce vaccine efficacy, remains largely unknown. Here, we established micro-neutralizing (MN) assays to investigate the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HAdV26 and HAdV35 in the general population of Guangdong and Shandong provinces, China.

Seasonal influenza A (H3N2) virus has been a concern since its first introduction in humans in 1968. Accumulating antigenic changes in viral hemagglutinin (HA), particularly recent cocirculations of multiple HA genetic clades, allow H3N2 virus evade into humans annually. From 2010, the binding of neuraminidase (NA) to sialic acid made the traditional assay for HA inhibition antibodies (Abs) unsuitable for antigenicity characterization.
