Feline FHV IgG Antibody ELISA Kit

This Feline Herpesvirus IgG Antibody ELISA Kit is based on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect herpesvirus specific antibodies in feline serum and plasma, moreover, it can be used in the supervision of FHV vaccine antibody levels in cats.

Herpesvirus infection, also known as feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR), is an infectious disease caused by feline herpesvirus type-1. As with other herpes viruses, the virus is very species specific, and is only known to cause infections in domestic and wild cats. The virus can infect cats of all ages.

FVR is a major cause of upper respiratory disease in cats, and is the most common cause of conjunctivitis (inflammation of the tissues surrounding the eye, especially the lining of the lids and the third eyelid).
