Zusammenfassung:Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination is the most effective way to prevent JE. Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) as the standard method for potency testing for inactivated JE vaccine could not provide the exact potency value. Envelope (E) protein of JE virus induces the body to create neutralizing antibodies. There is a potential for using the determination of E protein to assess the immunogenicity and efficacy of JE vaccine. In this study, an automatic time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay for detection of E protein in JE vaccine was established as a simple and rapid in vitro potency assay to complement PRNT, including the expression and paired screening of monoclonal antibodies, the establishment of assay method and performance verification. A pair of anti-E protein neutralizing antibodies (L022 and L034) were screened to construct the sandwich detection pattern. After pre-treating the vaccine sample, the entire analysis was performed using a fully automated machine, which had a little detection time and eliminated manual error. The results of the validation experiment met the requirements for quality control. The linear range was from 0.78125 U/mL to 25 U/mL, the sensitivity was 0.01 U/mL, the intra-assay coefficient of variation was less than 5 %, and the inter-assay coefficient of variation was less than 10 %. The recovery from the dilution was between 90 % and 110 %. This present TRFIA shown good stability and effectiveness in quality control for samples related to JE vaccine production. The outcomes demonstrated that the present TRFIA could be an alternative in vitro potency assay in quality control for inactivated JE vaccine. •An alternative in vitro assay for determining potency of JE vaccine.•Rapid, precise, and automated method for assaying E protein in JE vaccine.•Validation was carried out with higher analysis performance and efficiency.•Demonstrated in practical vaccine samples with satisfactory results.
