Neutralization data for #omicron is out. By request of @andrew_croxford, I try to explain how scientists investigate #neutralization. First, it's lab-based data. It’s impossible to directly conclude from neutralization data that #vaccines will not work anymore in the field. 1/X
@andrew_croxford Second, assays are legion! I developed one myself, which is different to the one used by the lab of e.g., @CiesekSandra, in terms of #virus, incubation times, etc. Keep that in mind if you compare two papers directly. I will explain how I did my assay. 2/X
@andrew_croxford @CiesekSandra Third, you must understand that such an assay generates data about neutralization of the virus by antibodies in the serum. These assays do not allow for measuring the effect of e.g., T cells or memory B cells.
