Development of receptor binding domain-based double-antigen sandwich lateral flow immunoassay for the detection and evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody in clinical sera samples compared with the conventional virus neutralization test.

ABSTRACT: Vaccination is an effective strategy to fight COVID-19. However, the effectiveness of the vaccine varies among different populations in varying immune effects. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) level is an important indicator to evaluate the protective effect of immune response after vaccination. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid, safe and sensitivity detection method, which has great potential in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 NAb. In this study, a fluorescent beads-based lateral flow immunoassay (FBs-LFIA) and a latex beads-based LFIA (LBs-LFIA) using double antigen sandwich (DAS) strategy were established to detect NAbs in the serum of vaccinated people. The limit of detection (LoD) of the FBs-LFIA was 1.13 ng mL^{- 1} and the LBs-LFIA was 7.11 ng mL^{- 1}. The two LFIAs
