Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV Ag) Test

FeLV, or Feline leukemia virus, is a contagious, viral disease of cats. In addition to causing leukemia, it has been associated with various other types of cancer, anemia, and immune suppression leading to increased susceptibility to various infectious diseases.Although cats may clear initial infection,there is no cure for persistent infection and it is ultimately fatal.The virus is spread through direct contact with an FeLV positive cat’s body fluids or saliva.It is disputed if the virus can live long enough outside of its host to spread itself from food or water bowls, or from a litter box. In any event, all cats owners should take precautions to protect their cats from the virus.They may live for as little as a few weeks, but probably not any longer than 3 years after their infection.But, even though they do not exhibit any signs, they will still transmit the disease to other cats – therefore the importance of a periodic test(or, even better, vaccination).Kittens of infected cats will most likely test positive for the virus, but signs of disease may not appear until later in their life.

Intended Use

HG Rapid Test FeLV is a chromatographic immunoassay kit for rapid and qualitative detection of FeLV antigen in feline whole blood,plasma or serum.The nitrocellulose membrane of the kit is immobilized with FeLV-specific antibody in test line and with anti-mouse antibodies in the control line.And also, FeLV-specific antibody is conjugated to the colloidal gold particles.This conjugate is placed on a polyester or glassfiber as conjugate pad.When the sample is dropped into the sample well on the device, the solubilized conjugate migrates with the sample by passive diffusion and both the conjugate and sample come into contact with the antibody that immobilized onto the nitrocellulose. Ifthe sample contains FeLV antigens, the result is visible as red line within~10 minutes in the test line on the membrane.The solution continues to migrate to encounter a control reagent that binds a control conjugate, thereby producing another red control line.

Features

1 This product uses the principle of colloidal gold immunochromatography to quickly detect FeLV antigen.

2 This product does not require special instruments, and can be quickly and easily implemented on-site inspection.

3 Using high-purity raw materials and high-quality materials, it shows extremely high sensitivity and specificity.

Operation

Place all specimens, test devices, and Assay solution and allow them to room temperature prior to testing (15~30 min).

Prepare the test device as you need, and then mark the patients,ID onto the device, Please perform the test immediately after removing the device from foil pouch..

Load 1 drop (10ul) of specimen into the sample well (S)

Add 3 drops of Assay Solution into the sample well(S).

Interpret the testing result within 10 minutes.Do not read the result after 10 minutes.

Interpretation of Results

This product is aimed to facilitate public health institute worldwide to increase their diagnostic capabilities when facing the emerging Feline Leukemia Virus health challenge, allowing for an efficient and rapid public health response in the case of an outbreak.
