Abstract
The disclosure provides methods and kits for performing automated high-throughput assays to measure bactericidal activity in samples, such as plasma or sera from vaccinated subjects to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines against bacterial pathogens. The method combines obligatory linear-range data analysis, plate sealing and liquid volume handling for all assay steps to provide an automated, high-throughput measurement of bactericidal activity with favorable inter-assay and inter-operator variability.
