ABSTRACT
As variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continue to emerge, assessment of vaccine immunogenicity remains a critical factor to support continued vaccination. To this end, an in vitro microneutralization (MN50) assay was validated to quantitate SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies against prototype and variant strains (Beta, Delta, Omicron BA.1, Omicron BA.5, and XBB.1.5) in human serum. For the prototype strain, the MN50 assay met acceptance criteria for inter-/intra-assay precision, specificity, linearity, and selectivity. The assay was robust against changes to virus/serum incubation time, cell seeding density, virus content per well, cell passage number, and serum interference. Analyte in serum samples was stable up to five freeze/thaw cycles and for up to 12 months of storage at -80 ± 10 °C. Similar results were observed for the variant-adapted MN50 assays. The conversion factor to convert assay result units to WHO international standard units (IU/mL) was determined to be 0.62 for the prototype strain. This MN50 assay will be useful for vaccine immunogenicity analyses in clinical trial samples, enabling assessment of vaccine immunogenicity for ancestral and variant strains as variant-adapted vaccines are developed.
