Integral Molecular’s Andes Hantavirus Reporter Virus Particles (RVPs) are replication-incompetent pseudotyped virus particles that enable safe (BSL-2), easy, and high-throughput viral infectivity and neutralization assays using standard detection instrumentation. The RVPs display Andes envelope proteins from the spring 2026 cruise ship strain on a VSV core and carry a modified genome that expresses a convenient optical reporter gene within 24 hours of cellular infection. Protocols are provided for neutralization and infectivity assays.
For more details about RVPs, their applications, and answers to frequently asked questions, visit the Reporter Virus Particle Information page. For tips on setting up your own neutralization assay, visit Pseudovirus Neutralization Assays: A How-to Guide for Getting Started.
