INTENDED USE

Feline distemper, also known as feline panleukopenia, is an acute feline disease with a high degree of contact contagion. The causative agent is feline microvirus (FPV), which mainly infects cats, both domestic and wild felines, and is highly contagious with rapid onset and high mortality. You can test your cat for the disease with the feline panleukopenia virus antibody test kit.

The main manifestations of feline distemper are fever, leukopenia, vomiting and hemorrhagic enteritis. This Feline Panleukopenia Virus Antibody Test Kit is used to detect antibodies to feline microvirus in whole blood, serum or plasma of cats.

PRINCIPLE

Test principle of the Feline Panleukopenia Virus Antibody Test Kit uses a rapid immunochromatographic detection technique for the detection of antibodies to feline fever virus. A sample obtained from cat whole blood, serum or plasma is added to the spiked wells and moved along the chromatographic membrane together with colloidal gold-labeled FPV antigen. If FPV antibodies are present in the sample, they bind to the antigen on the detection line (T) and show a burgundy color. If FPV antibodies are not present in the sample, no color reaction is produced.

The Feline Panleukopenia Virus Test Kit is able to detect Feline Panleukopenia Virus antibody concentration, demonstrating quantitative results. The test serves only as an aid to the diagnosis. For professional use only.
