EVAg

In this 3-day course the basic principles of the protein microarray will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. The protein microarray technique can be used for HA antibody profiling for group level assessment of exposures to influenza viruses in small sample volumes from humans and animals (birds, horses, pigs, bats, carnivores a.o.). The training encompasses wet lab training but also the analysis and interpretation of assay results. Special attention will be given to specific issues of Influenza and flavivirus cross reactivity.

24 pad nitrocellulose glass slides with a set of 33 HA1 proteins printed on each pad. The slides can be used for HA antibody profiling for group level assessment of exposures to influenza viruses in small sample volumes from humans and animals (birds, horses, pigs, bats, carnivores a.o.) in very small volumes of serum (10 μL). Each slides can be used for 24 sera. Scanning and analysis services are included.
