VaxArray® Seasonal Influenza Neuraminidase (NA) Potency Test

Rapid Quantification of Neuraminidase

The VaxArray Influenza Seasonal NA Potency test is a quantitative multiplexed immunoassay specific for seasonal NA subtypes, N1, N2 and B-NA.  The test relies on broadly reactive yet subtype specific monoclonal antibodies in a microarray format. This innovative multiplexed system enables simultaneous analysis of all neuraminidase antigens within m*lent vaccines, significantly reducing cost and testing time. The VaxArray NA test exhibits excellent correlation with enzymatic activity and can be used as an easy alterative to enzymatic activity assays. When paired with appropriate calibration antigens, the kit can be used to quantify NA even in relatively complex media such as allantoic fluid or 40% sucrose.

The VaxArray NA kit is manufactured using cGMP in an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility.  Reagent kit performance was verified in accordance with ICH Guidelines for the Validation of Analytical Procedures. Refer to the literature tab for strain specific technical notes. The operational software enables straightforward customer compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11.

The VaxArray® Influenza Seasonal Neuraminidase (NA) Potency Test Kit contains 32 microarrays and most of the reagents needed to quantify N1, N2, and B NA from both B/Yamagata-like and B/Victoria-like viruses. The test is a multiplexed immunoassay in which a panel of monoclonal antibodies is used to capture subtype-specific antigen. Readout is based on fluorescence from an antigen-specific “label” antibody conjugated with a proprietary fluorophore. The arrangement of monoclonal capture antibodies within each microarray (i.e., within each well) is shown in the figure below.

Assay features include:

• Subtype Specific and Multiplexed. Quantify any or all components of a quadrivalent formulation (note that B NA has not diverged for the two HA lineages). The microarray utilizes multiple antibodies for each subtype with 9 replicates per antibody in a single test, providing high confidence in results for protein quantification.
• Excellent Correlation with Enzymatic Activity. Each antibody within the microarray has been shown to exhibit excellent correlation with enzymatic activity, including after forced thermal degradation.
• Most Robust than Activity Assays.  No need for finicky enzymes, the assay is conducted at room temperature and the quantification range is generally 10-100x larger than the typical range for enzymatic activity assays.
• Stability Indicating. The test has been demonstrated to quantify biologically relevant forms of NA.
• Compatibility with Adjuvants. NA quantification is robust even in the presence of common adjuvants at dose-sparing antigen concentrations.
• Off-the-Shelf Kit. Eliminates need for in-house preparation of plates or gels; streamlines testing.
• Fast & High Throughput.  With a turn-around time of <2 hours, a single analyst can easily quantify 48 samples in a half day.
• Automated Image and Data Processing. Software developed with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 + EU Annex 11 compatible features reduces time spent processing data, enables straightforward data integrity compliance, and maintains digital records with audit log traceability.
