Neutralizing Antibody Assay, Explained: Dr. John Mills

Timestamps:Speaker 1: (01:00) Perhaps you could start off by just telling us how is this test different than the other antibody tests? What is a neutralizing antibody to begin with? Speaker 1: (02:40) Can you tell us about the new neutralizing antibody test then and how it came about? Speaker 1: (03:39) What did you do specifically to make it a clinical test? Speaker 1: (04:50) How many tests then can be completed each day? Speaker 1: (05:11) How would you incorporate this test into the clinical workflow then? Would there first be a screen to make sure the patient has antibodies to begin with? Speaker 1: (06:12) Can you tell us a little bit about the science about how that works and how this live virus comes into play? Speaker 1: (08:10) How will this assay be used now that we have it and should everyone be tested? Speaker 1: (09:53) Do you have any idea of how many people that have antibodies, actually have neutralizing antibodies specifically? Speaker 1: (11:19) Are there other laboratories that can offer this type of testing?Speaker 1: (13:07) Are there any other ways that this test could be used at this time?
