Quantification of neuramidase (NA) protein content.
An ELISA-immunocapture assay was developed for quantification of influenza neuraminidases (N2 and B), with a sensitivity about 10 ng neuramidase(NA)/ml. This sensitive and specific assay was applied to several trivalent vaccine preparations (1997/1998 and 1998/1999). It was shown capable to detect 3.5-6.9 microg NA/ml according to the influenza strain and the vaccine origin.
