Some studies, however, have shown that such permeability assays in intensive care patients have pitfalls.
In the SC infection assay, intensive virus production and release also appears to begin earlier for the H5N1 and H7N9 viruses, beginning around 3h 4h p.i. compared to 5h 6h for the sH1N1 and pH1N1 strains, suggesting a longer delay for virus production and release for the two H1N1 strains, consistent with longer elapsed time between successive infection cycles with these strains.
The complexity of phenotypes assayed is directly proportional to the cost and inversely proportional to throughput; as assays become more labour intensive, the number of mice that can feasibly be examined decreases.
In order to solve the shortcomings of traditional neutralizing antibody assays, such as being labor-intensive, subjective and time-consuming, NIFDC has developed a pseudovirus-luciferase assay for rapid and quantitative detection of EV71 neutralizing antibody (NTAB) levels after vaccination.

However, this type of assays is still quite labor- and cost intensive and mostly cannot be operated directly in the field.
However, traditional neutralization assays based on cytopathic effect are labor-intensive and not suitable for a large-scale surveillance system.
Historically, time-consuming and labor-intensive strategies such as cross-adsorbed neutralization assays, immunofluorescence assays, and hemagglutination-inhibition assays have been used to identify orthopoxvirus infections.
