Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Like other coronaviruses that infect humans, SARS-CoV-2 can cause both upper and lower respiratory tract infection. Symptoms can range from mild (ie, the common cold) to severe (ie, pneumonia) in both healthy and immunocompromised patients. SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs primarily via respiratory droplets. During the early stages of COVID-19, symptoms may be nonspecific and resemble other common respiratory tract infections, such as influenza. The incubation period for COVID-19 ranges from 3 to 14 days. Typically, immunocompetent individuals with COVID-19 develop detectable antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 approximately 8 to 11 days following onset of symptoms or vaccination. Patients tested prior to this time may be negative for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, is a viral variant of ancestral SARS-CoV-2, which contains numerous mutations in the spike glycoprotein. As a result, neutralizing antibodies generated from prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 (ancestral or other variants) or vaccination with an approved anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike vaccine, are not as effective at neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. However, cross protection is observed, particularly in individuals receiving three doses of an approved vaccine. The two assays performed as part of the IMMUNO-CRON(+) test are designed to measure neutralizing antibodies against both ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

Interpretation

Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Note: a result will be indicated for both ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
Negative: No neutralizing antibodies to ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant detected. Negative results may occur in samples collected too soon following infection or vaccination, in immunosuppressed patients, in some individuals with prior mild illness, or in individuals with waning immunity.
Borderline: A borderline result means no determination regarding the presence or absence of neutralizing antibodies to ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV Omicron variant can be made.
Positive: Neutralizing antibodies detected against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Results suggest recent or prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, resulting in the generation of neutralizing antibodies against ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. Correlation with epidemiologic risk factors and other clinical and laboratory findings is recommended.
INFORMATION ABOUT TITER VALUES
The titer value represents the level of neutralizing antibodies present in a blood sample. For the IMMUNO-CRON (Omicron variant) assay, titer is determined as the amount of sample required to inhibit 50% of the virus used in the IMMUNO-CRON test. Titer values are expressed as 50% inhibitory concentrations, where the concentration is the reciprocal of the dilution used for testing, such that samples with higher titer have more neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. For the IMMUNO-COV (Ancestral) assay, titers have been calibrated to World Health Organization International Units per milliliter (IU/mL). Please refer to the Imanis website for the most up to date information: www.imanis-immunocov.com.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE IMMUNO-COV TEST
This test is a combination of two independent assays, which were performed in the Imanis CLIA laboratory as high complexity laboratory developed tests. Together, the assays quantitatively measure the level (titer) of antibodies in a blood sample capable of blocking live SARS-CoV-2 mimic viruses (Ancestral or Omicron variant) from infecting Vero-ACE2 cells. For the IMMUNO-CRON assay, the limit of detection (LOD) is an IC50 of 40 and the upper limit of quantitation is an IC50 of 5120. For the IMMUNO-COV assay, the limit of detection (LOD) is 22 IU/mL and the upper limit of quantitation is 20,862 IU/mL.

Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection or prior vaccination against SARS-CoV-2.
Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status.
Positive results may be due to vaccination, prior infection with other SARS-CoV-2 variants, or prior infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC63, or 229E.

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The Neutralizing Antibody Assay is a functional assay that detects the presence of specific neutralizing antibodies capable of inhibiting VSV-SARS2-Fluc or VSV-SARS2(Omi)-Fluc infection. Vero cells (African green monkey-derived kidney epithelial cells) that have been stably transduced to overexpress angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) are infected with a virus displaying the SARS-CoV-2 ancestral or Omicron variant spike glycoprotein on its surface and encoding the same spike glycoprotein and a firefly luciferase (Fluc) reporter in its genome. When either virus infects the Vero cells, the cells begin to produce firefly luciferase. A luciferase substrate is then added to assay plates to allow for a luminescence readout, wherein total luminescence (relative light units, RLU) corresponds to the extent of virus infection. The ability of antibodies in human serum to block infection of Vero-ACE2 cells by VSV-SARS2-Fluc or VSV-SARS2(Omi)-Fluc, and thereby to prevent luciferase expression serves as a proxy readout for antibodies capable of neutralizing ancestral SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection.
