The Development of a Novel Diagnostic Assay That Utilizes a Pseudotyped Vesicular Stomatitis Virus for the Detection of Neutralizing Activity against Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus
2018
: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is a risk group 4 pathogen, which mandates the use of maximum containment facilities, often termed biosafety level 4 or containment level 4 when working with infectious materials. Diagnostic and research work involving live viruses in such laboratories is time-consuming and inconvenient, resulting in delays. Herein, we show that serum neutralizing activity against the virus can be measured in low-containment laboratories using a pseudotyped virus.
