| 010S-04799 | Service | Principles and practice of virus neutralization assays | Virus Neutralization Tests (VNT), also including plaque-reduction and foci-inhibition assays like PRNT and RFFIT, are the gold standard for determining antibody titers against viruses, and are essential serological tools. In this 5-day training the application and basic principles of VNTs will be discussed, and will be combined with wet lab training. The wet lab training will include all steps of the VNT, including analysis and interpretation of the results. The training will be provided on demand and can be designed for the following viruses: rabies virus (RABV), SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, yellow fever virus and other flaviviruses, All lectures and lab training will be targeted to the virus of interest. After this training participants should have sufficient knowledge to establish VNTs in their own laboratory. | Viruses | Any virus (see additrional information) | Upon request | RG2 | ERASMUS-MC | 1,500€ | View all details on this product . . . | Free access available |
| 011S-03674 | Service | Protein microarray training | In this 3-day course the basic principles of the protein microarray will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. The protein microarray technique can be used for HA antibody profiling for group level assessment of exposures to influenza viruses in small sample volumes from humans and animals (birds, horses, pigs, bats, carnivores a.o.). The training encompasses wet lab training but also the analysis and interpretation of assay results. Special attention will be given to specific issues of Influenza and flavivirus cross reactivity. Specific issues include: principles of a non‐contact spotting machine (Piezorray, Perkin Elmer), principles of microarray multiplex serological testing, antigen selection, practical wet lab training for testing protein microarray slides, analysis and interpretation of the results, issues with cross reactivity. | Viruses | Any virus (see additrional information) | Upon request | No RG | ERASMUS-MC | 1,500€ | View all details on this product . . . | Free access available |
| 011S-03365 | Service | Course: From sequencing to sequence analysis | This five-day course includes two modules that can be attended separately. In the first module (Ref-SKU: 011S-02851), the basic principles of routine virus typing that can be used for hospital epidemiology and public health will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all required laboratory and analysis procedures for routine typing of viruses. Typing of enteroviruses will be used as an example, but the general procedures are applicable to typing of other viruses also. After this module participants should have sufficient knowledge to introduce routine typing of viruses in their own laboratory. Special attention will be given to quality control and assay validation. Topics included: - PCR workflow - Nucleic Acid isolation - Reverse transcription and PCR - Sequencing and sequence analysis - Basic phylogeny for virus typing - Assay validation and Quality control in molecular diagnostics The second module is a hands-on three-day course which focuses on the analysis of sequences. After completion of the second analytical module, participants will be able to i) understand the statistical and biological background of sequence analysis including BLAST and phylogenetic approaches including neighbour-joining, maximum likelihood and BEAST analysis, and ii) to independently perform and evaluate complex sequence analysis. Participants are invited to work under supervision on their own sequences. | Viruses | Any virus | Upon request | RG2 | ERASMUS-MC | 2,500€ | View all details on this product . . . | Free access available |

| 011S-03120 | Service | Serological tools to detect ARBO-viruses | In this 3-day course the basic principles of serological testing against ARBO viruses will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all laboratory techniques including ELISA, Immunofluorescence and virus neutralization. Attention will be given to serological testing in cerebrospinal fluid, including the calculation of an antibody index. Other topics may include : cell culture, biosafety procedures, ELISA formats, different virus neutralization tests, immunofluorescence and staining of cells, calculation of titers, assay validation and quality control. | Viruses | Arboviruses | Upon request | RG2 | ERASMUS-MC | 1,500€ | View all details on this product . . . | Free access available |
