Provided herein are multiplex assays for detecting antibodies indicative of presence and stage of syphilis infection in an individual. Individuals infected with syphilis produce antibodies directed to syphilis components and the lipid cellular debris associated with the infection. The present disclosure represents the first combination of these diverse antibody targets in a single assay.

Combination treponemal and non-treponemal syphilis test

The present invention relates to an immunoassay for the detection ofspecific IgG, IgM and IgG/IgM antibodies in biological samples suspected of Lyme infection. The immunoassay can be performed via a standard immunoassay format or on an automated platform. In various embodiments, the immunoassay uses one or morespecific chimeric peptides VlsE-FlaB (designated pFlaB-mV), VlsE-ErpP (designated pErp59-mV), VlsE-P35 (designated pP35-mV) alone or in combination with one or more outer surface protein C (Osp C) types B or I, p58 and DbpA. Other aspects of the invention provide antigen/substrate combinations and compositions comprising combinations of the disclosed peptides and/or proteins for use in the immunoassays described herein.

immunoassays and materials therefor

The present invention relates to the development of novel immunoassays for the detection of neutralizing antibodies and/or high avidity neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants or fragments thereof and, optionally, one or more cytokine in patient samples. Novel multiplex and singleplex immunoassays for the detection of neutralizing antibodies and/or high avidity neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants or fragments thereof and, optionally, one or more cytokine in patient samples are also provided.

Immunoassay for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies and materials therefor

Provided herein are multiplex assays for determining whether an individual is or has been infected with Hepatitis B virus, and the stage of infection or resolution. In addition, the multiplex system can discriminate between vaccinated subjects and subjects susceptible to Hepatitis B infection.
