【Test Purpose】
Feline Herpes Virus (FHV) Antigen testing is conducted for the purpose of diagnosing
feline herpesvirus infection in cats. Feline herpesvirus is a highly contagious viral
infection that affects cats, primarily causing respiratory and ocular symptoms. The FHV
Antigen test aims to detect the presence of viral antigens in samples, typically taken from
nasal or ocular secretions.
【Detection principle】
This product uses fluorescence immunochromatography to quantitatively detect the
content of FHV in cat Eye, mouth, and nose secretions. Basic principle: there are T and C
lines on the nitrocellulose membrane, and the T-line is coated with antibody a which can
specifically recognize FHV antigen. Another fluorescent nanomaterial labeled antibody
that can specifically recognize FHV is sprayed on the binding pad. From B, the FHV in
the sample first combines with the antibody B labeled with the nanomaterial to form a
complex. Then, the complex binds to the T-line antibody A to form a sandwich structure.
When the excitation light is irradiated, the nano material emits a fluorescence signal, and
the intensity of the signal is in positive phase with the concentration of FHV.
