WHO Working Group – Viruses, Reagents and Immune assays

Overview

In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO Blueprint team has established an Expert Group focused on COVID-19 viruses, reagents and immune assays. The goal of the group is to advance the development of COVID-19 medical countermeasures (vaccines and immunotherapeutics). This is being achieved by providing a platform to discuss availability of viruses and key reagents, to share data on immune assays and the potential for cross reactivity of SARS-CoV-2 with other coronaviruses.
