Abstract of the dataset | Five key protocol variables were systematically assessed: (i) the applied trypsin concentration, (ii) the incubation time for proteolytic activation of the RV, (iii) the infection dose applied, (iv) the duration of neutralization time and (v) sample-specific factors that affect assay performance. Furthermore, correlation studies was done between several sample materials and Virus neutralization (VNA) and immunofourescence assay titers. Moreover the sensitivity limit and the linearity of the VNA was determined as well as intra- and inter-assay repeatability. | |

Project abstract | We optimized and standardized a virus neutralization assay (VNA) assay for RVA to evaluate its applicability across serum, intestinal mucus, and saliva samples. Five key protocol variables were systematically assessed: (i) the applied trypsin concentration, (ii) the incubation time for proteolytic activation of the RV, (iii) the infection dose applied, (iv) the duration of neutralization time and (v) sample-specific factors that affect assay performance. The following parameters have proven to be optimal: (i) end concentration of 20 µg/ml Trypsin (ii) two hours for proteolytic activation of the RV, (iii) MOI of 0,5 – 3,0 x 10-3, (iv) two or eight hours of neutralization time for serum or saliva and mucus samples. Optimization of trypsin concentration and virus activation time significantly improved assay reproducibility across sample types. Analysis of the three validated sample materials of individual swine demonstrate that RV-specific neutralizing antibodies can be reliably detected in saliva. Saliva-based neutralization titers strongly correlated with those from intestinal mucus, indicating that salivary antibodies may serve as a non-invasive surrogate for gut mucosal immunity. | |

- Name:
- repeated analysis_estimation of variation_saliva.CSV
- Size:
- 98 B
- Format:
- Comma-Separated Values
- Description:
- The file contains the raw data related to the saliva-specific analyses for assessing test repeatability presented in Table 5: “Repeatability parameters of the RVA G5P[7]9-specific VNA for saliva and gut mucus” of the paper. The data table contains the number of specific result outcomes obtained from 15 repetitions of the VNA. Column 1 shows the VNT titer, and Column 2 shows the number of corresponding results. The VNA starts at a sample dilution of 2 and follows a 2-fold dilution series. For results that do not follow this 2-fold dilution series, the intra-assay results were not identical, and the mean value was calculated. The coefficient of variation was determined after linearization of the results by dividing the standard deviation by the mean.
