COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 Research Applications

COVID-19

MSD's V-PLEX Serology Panels for COVID-19 are now available for sale. The release includes the V-PLEX SARS-CoV-2 Panel 2, which Operation Warp Speed (OWS) has chosen as the basis of its standard binding assays for immunogenicity assessments in all funded Phase III clinical trials of vaccines. The serology tests are provided as complete kits, including the same reference standards and controls that will be used in OWS laboratories to analyze clinical trial samples, making it possible for OWS scientists to directly compare quantitative results between different clinical trials. We offer multiplex serology panels that can be used to detect isotypes (IgG, IgM, and IgA) of antibodies to important antigens related to SARS-CoV-2, SARS-1, MERS, circulating Coronaviruses, and other respiratory diseases. The products also include kits to measure antibodies that block binding of ACE2 to SARS-CoV-2 Spike and RBD, a high throughput alternative to traditional neutralization assays.

The V-PLEX Serology products are built from a menu of sixteen (16) antigens, organized into panels. The SARS-CoV-2 panels focus on antigens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Coronavirus panels combine the SARS-CoV-2 panels with selected antigens from SARS-1, MERS, the circulating Coronaviruses and Influenza. The Respiratory panels are the most comprehensive with additional antigens for Influenza and RSV.

We also offer multiplex assays to measure key biomarkers that are involved in many inflammatory pathways. Individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 show elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines that could lead to cytokine release syndrome or "cytokine storm." You can easily configure other panels from our full menu.
