Abstract
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a newly emerged mosquito-borne flavivirus that has been associated with birth defects of babies born to ZIKV-infected mothers. Neutralization activity of serum derived from ZIKV infected and vaccinated individuals is a critical component for characterizing immune response to infection and vaccine efficacy. This protocol describes a modified plaque reduction neutralization 50 (PRNT50) assay that includes an immunostaining step to improve reproducibility and throughput of the assay.Entities:
