Detection of antibodies to Neospora caninum in bovine serum by cELISA. For Veterinary Use Only - Use Only As Directed
DESCRIPTION
This Neospora caninum Antibody Test Kit is a competitive, enzyme-linked, immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Sample serum N. caninum antibody inhibits binding of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled N. caninum-specific monoclonal antibody to N. caninum tachyzoite antigen coated on the plastic wells. Binding of the HRP-labeled monoclonal antibody conjugate is detected by the addition of enzyme substrate and quantified by subsequent color product development. Strong color development indicates little or no blockage of HRP-labeled monoclonal antibody binding and therefore the absence of N. caninum antibody in sample sera. Weak color development due to inhibition of the monoclonal antibody binding to the antigen on the solid phase indicates the presence of N. caninum antibodies in sample sera.
