diagnostics | the anthrax lethal toxin neutralization assay (TNA) measures the ability of antibodies to neutralize the cytotoxicity of anthrax lethal toxin rather than quantifying total antibody through a conjugated species-specific secondary antibody. TNA may provide a more relevant immunological measure, as it quantitates functional antibodies only rather than total protective antigen-binding antibodies. In this study, TNA data are generated in several different laboratories to measure the immune responses in rabbits, nonhuman primates, and humans. A collaborative study is conducted in which 108 samples from the three species are analyzed in seven independent laboratories. This study demonstrates that the TNA is a panspecies assay that can be performed in several different laboratories with a high degree of quantitative agreement and precision | Bacillus anthracis |
