Intended Use

This kit is  used to qualitative detection of feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR), feline herpesvirus (FHV) antigen in feline ocular nasal secretion, and can be used for screening and assisting diagnosis of feline viral rhinotracheitis or herpesvirus infection.

Principle

This kit is used to qualitative detection FVR/FHV antigen in feces sample by colloidal gold immunochromatography. The feline FVR/FHV antibody is coated on the nitrocellulose membrane. If the sample contains feline FVR or FHV, the virus will bind to the feline FVR or FHV 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 FVR or FHV 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 FVR or FHV, the T-line shows a red band; If the sample does not contain FVR or FHV, the T line does not show a  red band. The C line shows a red color band regardless of whether the sample contains FVR /FHV.
