Specifications
Target Information
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that poses a significant health threat to cats, causing immunosuppression, anemia, and various forms of cancer. The p27 protein, also known as the p27gag protein, is a key structural component of FeLV, playing a crucial role in the assembly of the virus. This protein is derived from the gag gene, which is responsible for the production of the core structural proteins of the virus. The p27 antigen is highly conserved among different FeLV strains, making it an ideal target for diagnostic tests that aim to detect FeLV infection in cats. It is also a target for the cat's immune response, as the production of antibodies against p27 can indicate exposure to the virus.
