Intended Use

This kit is used to qualitative detection feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) antigen in feline feces, and can be used for screening and assisting diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis infection.

Principle

Feline Infectious Peritonitis Antigen Rapid Test Kit was used to qualitatively detection FIP antigen in feces sample by colloidal gold immunochromatography. The feline FIP antibody is coated on the nitrocellulose membrane. If the sample contains feline FIP, the virus will bind to the feline FIP monoclonal antibody coated with colloidal gold on the gold label mat to form an antibody-antigen complex. When this complex was chromatographed to the detection line of the membrane (T line), it was combined with another feline FIP monoclonal antibody to form an “antibody-antigen-antibody” sandwich complex and gradually agglutinated into a visible T line. The unconjugated colloidal gold antibody was chromatographed to the T line and captured by the quality control line (C line) and formed a visible C line. The test results were displayed through the C line and T line. If the sample contains FIP, the T-line shows a red band; If the sample does not contain FIP, the T line does not show a  red band. The C line shows a  red color band regardless of whether the sample contains FIP.
