Feline calicivirus antibody (FCV Ab) Rapid Test Kit
Catalog No.:
Description
This test qualitatively detects anti-feline calicivirus (FCV) antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma from cats. FCV is a leading cause of feline upper respiratory disease and oral ulcers; vaccination induces antibodies. A positive result indicates prior exposure or vaccination; the test gives a point-of-care visual result in minutes.

INTENDED USE
Qualitative detection of antibodies against feline calicivirus (FCV) in whole blood, serum, or plasma collected from cats, for veterinary point-of-care use. It aids in assessing immune status following vaccination or prior exposure to this common respiratory pathogen. A positive result indicates exposure or vaccination rather than active infection, and results must be interpreted together with clinical signs and other diagnostics.
PRINCIPLE
The FCV Ab Rapid Test is a lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay based on colloidal gold labeling. The test cassette contains a nitrocellulose membrane with a test (T) line pre-coated with feline calicivirus antigen and a control (C) line. When the processed whole blood, serum, or plasma sample is added to the sample well, it migrates by capillary action. If antibodies against feline calicivirus are present, they bind the gold-conjugated anti-antibody and are captured at the T line, forming a visible colored band. The C line should always appear, confirming the assay ran correctly. Results are read visually by the naked eye within the stated time; no instrument is required.
SPECIMEN
Use whole blood, serum, or plasma collected from the cat. For serum, allow clotting and separate promptly; for plasma, use an appropriate anticoagulant. Avoid hemolysis and store samples cool; test fresh or refrigerate if analysis is delayed.
