What are the Recent Advances and Future Directions?
Recent advances include the development of pseudovirus neutralization assays, which use non-replicative viral particles to assess neutralizing antibodies in a safer and more versatile manner. Future directions involve automating and miniaturizing these assays to enhance throughput and accessibility.
In summary, neutralization tests are a cornerstone of epidemiological research and public health practice. They provide critical insights into immune responses, vaccine efficacy, and population-level immunity, thereby informing strategies to control and prevent infectious diseases.
