- W3136607402 abstract "Abstract Efforts to define serological correlates of protection against COVID-19 have been hampered by the lack of a simple, scalable, standardised assay for SARS-CoV-2 infection and antibody neutralisation. Plaque assays remain the gold standard, but are impractical for high-throughput screening. In this study, we show that expression of viral proteases may be used to quantitate infected cells. Our assays exploit the cleavage of specific oligopeptide linkers, leading to the activation of cell-based optical biosensors. First, we characterise these biosensors using recombinant SARS-CoV-2 proteases. Next, we confirm their ability to detect viral protease expression during replication of authentic virus. Finally, we generate reporter cells stably expressing an optimised luciferase-based biosensor, enabling viral infection to be measured within 24 h in a 96- or 384-well plate format, including variants of concern. We have therefore developed a luminescent SARS-CoV-2 reporter cell line, and demonstrated its utility for the relative quantitation of infectious virus and titration of neutralising antibodies. Author summary Techniques for measuring infection with SARS-CoV-2 in the laboratory are laborious and time-consuming, and different laboratories use different approaches. There is therefore no generally agreed way to quantitate neutralising antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, which block infection with the virus and protect people from COVID-19. In this study, we describe a new way to measure SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is much simpler and faster than existing methods. It relies on the production of a specific protease enzyme by the virus, which is able to cleave and activate an engineered protein biosensor in infected cells. This biosensor emits light in the presence of viral infection, and the amount of light released is used as a readout for the amount of infectious SARS-CoV-2 present. The signal is very sensitive, so the number of infected cells required is very small, and the method can be scaled-up to test many samples at once. In particular, we demonstrate how it can be used to detect different variants of SARS-CoV-2, and quantitate neutralising antibodies against these viruses." @default.
