COVID-19, Why GeneMedi's Multi-VariantsTM SARS-CoV-2 Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay system?
The outbreak of COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV), has been a global pandemic and cause millions of people dead. The coronavirus is kept accumulated mutating. The most important mutation occurs in SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) Spike protein (SARS-CoV-2 S protein). The SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) Spike mediates binding and entry into host cells and is a major target of neutralizing antibodies1.
The United Kingdom (UK) has faced a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases caused by a novel SARS-COV-2 (2019nCOV) lineage, the B.1.1.7 lineage, which carries a larger than a usual number of coronavirus genetic changes2-3, particularly in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The South African variant is characterized by eight lineage-defining mutations in the spike protein including three key residues in the receptor-binding domain (K417N, E484K, and N501Y) and is referred to as lineage 501Y.V2.
Due to its high pathogenicity and infectivity1, live SARS-CoV-2 should be handled under biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) conditions. GeneMedi has developed wild-type and mutant variants of the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus assay system, from which the SARS-CoV-2 pseudotyped virus can be handled in biosafety level 2 (BSL-2)4. GeneMedi's Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV2 (wildtype 2019nCoV, D614G, N501Y, E484K, B.1.1.7 lineage, 501Y.V2 lineage, etc.) pseudotype virus-based neutralization assay system is a powerful tool of SARS-CoV-2 for efficacy evaluation of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutic antibodies (Lentiviral pseudovirus), which is kept updating by tracking the newest variants.

GeneMedi Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV-2(2019nCoV) Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay system5
The Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV2 (2019nCoV) coronavirus Pseudotype virus-Based Neutralization Assay System a powerful tool designed for efficacy evaluation of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutic antibodies.
The system is including:
1. Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV2 (wildtype, D614G, N501Y, E484K, B.1.1.7 lineage, 501Y.V2 lineage, etc.) Pseudotype virus (Lentiviral pseudovirus)
2. 293T-ACE2 stable cell line & human ACE2 expression vectors: Effector cell of pseudotype virus-Based Neutralization Assay System.
3. Validated SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies-benchmark COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies.
4. Multi-Variants™ Codon-optimized adenoviral vector (adenovirus particle) for SARS-COV-2 (2019nCOV) spike wide type & mutant variants (D614G, N501Y, E484K, B.1.1.7 lineage, 501Y.V2 lineage, etc.)
SARS-CoV2 Pseudotype Virus (Lentiviral pseudovirus particle)
GeneMedi's Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV-2 Pseudovirus particle with luciferase/RFP double reporters (Cat.GM-2019nCoV-PSV) is recombinant pseudotyped lentiviral particles combining chimeric SARS-CoV-2 spike protein envelop to mimic SARS-CoV-2 (2019nCoV) cell infection and cell entry5.
The SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus particles encode firefly luciferase and RFP in their lentiviral vector genome. The firefly luciferase and RFP gene will be strongly expressed after the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus entry into ACE2-expressing cells. Actually, 293T-hACE2(human ACE2 overexpression stable HEK293T cell lines) is normally used as an effector cell.
GM-2019nCoV-PSV is a powerful tool for SARS-CoV-2 related vaccine candidates' efficacy evaluation, neutralizing antibodies, peptides blockers competitors neutralization assay, and tissue-specific infection determination.

Validation Data Post: Multi-Variants™ SARS-CoV-2(2019nCoV) Pseudotyped Virus Based Neutralization Assay5
In Multi-Variants™ Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay (PBNA), the inhibition of viral entry into cells by neutralizing antibodies is correlated to the decreased levels of firefly luciferase signals in the ACE2 expression cells (hACE2-HEK293T).
GeneMedi’s Multi-Variants™ Pseudovirus Based Neutralization Assay (PBNA) is a conventional assay method that is suitable for High-Throughout Screening (HTS) without live virus engaged.
GeneMedi’s Multi-Variants™ Pseudotype virus-Based Neutralization Assay System is a powerful tool for efficacy evaluation assay of your anti-COVID-19 candidate, which is including:
