Description

Feline panleukopenia virus (FPV, also known as feline parvovirus) and feline coronavirus (FCoV) are contagious pathogens responsible for acute gastroenteritis in cats. Despite structural, genetic, molecular biological, and pathological differences, initial clinical signs of two viruses, including diarrhea, vomiting, fever, lethargy, and anorexia, are very similar when infected with cats.

RIDX^TM FPV/FCoV Ag Combo Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of FPV antigens and FCoV antigens in feline feces. This kit shows two letters which are the test (T) line and the control (C) line for each test on the surface of the device. If viral antigens exist in the sample, that bind to the gold-conjugated virus (FPV or FCoV) specific antibody. The antigen-antibody complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the virus (FPV or FCoV) specific antibody on the test line, resulting in a red line. The control line indicates that the test is performed correctly and should appear when the test is complete.

The highly selective and sensitive two monoclonal antibodies to FPV or FCoV for each are used as capture and detector in the kit. RIDX^TM FPV/FCoV Ag Combo Test Kit can detect FPV antigens and FCoV antigens in feline feces with high accuracy.
