PSEUDOTYPED REPORTER VIRUS PARTICLES
Virology reagents for neutralization assays: ideal for therapeutic antibody and vaccine development
Reporter Virus Particles (RVPs): Pseudoviruses for Safe Neutralization Data
Reporter Virus Particles (RVPs) are non-replicating pseudoviruses for your BSL-2 lab. Use them in place of live virus for high-throughput viral infectivity and neutralization assays.
- Safe in a BSL-2 environment
- Ready-to-use pseudotyped viruses
- Quantitative (luciferase) or fluorescent (GFP) read-out
- Quality-controlled critical reagents based on 20+ years of virology expertise
“SARS-CoV-2 RVPs really helped us a lot since we did not have much previous expertise in SARS. The user meetings were especially helpful.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Are RVPs the same as live virus?
RVPs incorporate virus-specific envelope proteins that are antigenically equivalent to those of live wild-type viruses. They contain a modified genome and so are replication-incompetent and safe to use under standard safety levels (BSL-2). Once the RVPs are in your hands, you can begin your neutralization assays immediately – no need for growing and sequencing live virus.
How are RVPs used?
RVPs are used for infectivity and neutralization assays, and are ideal for use in high-throughput assay formats. They are a safe (BSL-2) and efficient alternative to live virus plaque or microneutralization assays. Many customers use our RVPs to conduct sera neutralization assays to assess efficacy of their vaccine or vaccine candidate.
What is the RVP readout?
Luciferase and GFP are used for quantitative readouts.
What vaccine development services do you offer?
Integral Molecular offers many vaccine development solutions including the production of reporter viruses, epitope mapping on viral targets, protein engineering for vaccine discovery, and antibody discovery against viral targets.
Do you offer custom RVPs?
Yes. We can produce custom RVPs to accelerate your vaccine or antibody development project, with variants of current RVPs, or for a virus of your choice. We have a team of expert scientists that acts as your partner from project initiation to delivery of RVPs. Our customized quality control services and reports meet the specific needs of your team and project.
Do you offer large lots or volumes of RVPs?
Yes. We can produce large lots of RVPs to accommodate screening 100s or 1000s of samples in sera neutralization assays without bridging studies.
