Abstract
Background: To streamline and improve throughput, the agar-based multiplexed opsonophagocytic killing assay (MOPA) was optimized and validated on a microcolony platform for use in the Phase III clinical trial program for V114, an MSD 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate. Results & methodology: The precision, dilutional linearity and specificity of the microcolony MOPA (mMOPA) were assessed for each serotype in validation experiments. All prespecified acceptance criteria on assay performance were satisfied. Accuracy was assessed by testing 007sp and the US FDA reference panel and comparing to consensus values. The mMOPA produced comparable results to other opsonophagocytic killing assays/MOPAs.Entities:
