Abstract
Source: Fhied, C. L. et al., Dynamic Monitoring of Seroconversion using a Multianalyte Immunobead Assay for Covid-19. J. Vis. Exp. (2022).
This video describes an immunoassay technique using fluorescent magnetic beads or microspheres coupled with different antigens to simultaneously detect various antibody isotypes in a serum sample. The assay is helpful in understanding seroconversion during an infection or post-vaccination.
Protocol
All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board. 1. Preparation of antigen-conjugated microspheres Select three different vials of magnetic microspheres with unique bead regions, recording bead ID and lot information for each vial used. NOTE: The following steps will be followed for each…
