BioIVT, a leading provider of research models and services for drug and diagnostic development, today introduced its COVID-19 Vaccination Panel, composed of pre- and post-vaccination serum or PBMC samples, to enable researchers to study blood donors’ vaccine-generated immune response.
BioIVT has been providing more than 300 clients with biospecimens to support the development of COVID-19 diagnostic assays and therapeutic interventions since the beginning of the pandemic. Those biospecimens have included saliva, serum, plasma, PBMCs, fresh whole blood, bulk plasma, and bulk serum from acute COVID-19 cases and recovered donors, together with representative diagnostic polymerase chain reaction or serological antibody test results to verify infection and /or exposure.
