The GenScript SARS-CoV-2 Surrogate Virus Neutralization Test (sVNT) Kit can detect circulating neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 that block the interaction between the receptor binding domain of the viral spike glycoprotein (RBD) with the ACE2 cell surface receptor. The assay detects any antibodies in serum and plasma that neutralize the RBD-ACE2 interaction. The test is both species and isotype independent.

The SARS-CoV-2 sVNT Kit is a blocking ELISA detection tool, which mimics the virus neutralization process. The kit contains two key components: the Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD fragment (HRP-RBD) and the human ACE2 receptor protein (hACE2). The protein-protein interaction between HRP-RBD and hACE2 can be blocked by neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 RBD.

First, the samples and controls are pre-incubated with the HRP-RBD to allow the binding of the circulating neutralization antibodies to HRP-RBD. The mixture is then added to the capture plate which is pre-coated with the hACE2 protein. The unbound HRP-RBD as well as any HRP-RBD bound to non-neutralizing antibody will be captured on the plate, while the circulating neutralization antibodies_HRP-RBD complexes remain in the supernatant and get removed during washing. After washing steps, TMB solution is added, making the color blue. By adding Stop Solution, the reaction is quenched and the color turns yellow. This final solution can be read at 450 nm in a microtiter plate reader. The absorbance of the sample is inversely dependents on the titer of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.
