NT (Neutralization test)
Neutralization reaction
A method that utilizes the fact that a virus loses its infectivity (neutralization) due to a reaction with antibodies against the virus. After reacting the virus with the antibody, it is inoculated into cultured cells susceptible to the virus, and the presence of neutralizing antibodies is determined by the presence or absence of cytopathogenic effect (CPE).
