Abstract

The luciferase immunoprecipitation system (LIPS) assay is a liquid-phase immunoassay that quantitates antigen-specific serum antibodies by measuring luminescence emitted by the reporter enzyme Renilla luciferase (Ruc) fused to an antigen of interest. The LIPS assay can be utilized as a high-throughput and sensitive serological method for profiling serum antibodies recognizing diverse antigens. This chapter provides a detailed protocol for detecting human norovirus-specific serum antibodies with the LIPS assay.
