Validation of A Triple-color Pseudovirion-based Neutralization Assay for
Immunogenicity Assessment of A 14-valent Recombinant Human
Papillomavirus Vaccine
Abstract
The validation of a bioanalytical method is essential to ascertain its
suitability for a specific purpose and ensure the accuracy of its
analytical outcomes, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry.
The pseudovirion-based neutralization assay (PBNA) is considered the
gold standard for detecting and quantifying neutralizing antibodies
against human papillomavirus in the development of the disease-prevent
vaccines. This paper introduces a modified high-throughput triple-color
PBNA method designed to simultaneously detect the neutralizing
antibodies against as many as 14 HPV types. The primary objective is to
present a comprehensive validation of the triple-color PBNA method
applicable to general vaccine immunogenicity assays. The results
demonstrate good specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity,
robustness, and applicability of the method. This innovative
triple-color PBNA provides a high-throughput approach for large-scale
immunogenicity assessments that vaccine developers might encounter,
overcoming limitations of labor-intensive and complex nature associated
with traditional neutralization assays. The research establishes a
robust foundation and good guiding example for evaluating vaccine
responses in both preclinical and clinical phases, offering valuable
insights to the field.
