Immunoassays for Veterinary Virus Identification
The surface antigens of veterinary viruses trigger an immune response in the host animal's immune system, leading to the production of antibodies against specific antigens. Utilizing specific antibodies directed against known veterinary virus antigens to identify and characterize surface antigens is a crucial method in virus research. Simultaneously, this serves as a specialized technique for identifying veterinary viruses. BioVenic possesses a range of immunoassay techniques, offering customers efficient and comprehensive immunoassay services for the identification of veterinary viruses. Customers have the flexibility to choose and customize immunoassay methods to address specific veterinary virus research challenges.
Featured Immunoassay Services for Veterinary Virus Identification
For the veterinary viruses of interest to our customers, we provide one-stop immunoassay services for identification. This includes selecting suitable host cells for virus isolation and cultivation, collecting virus particles from the supernatant of infected cell cultures, purifying the collected virus particles, and performing immunoassay. We accept various types of samples, including infected animal tissues, sera, urine, feces, and respiratory swabs. Depending on the specific immunoassay methods, we offer the following featured services.
Immunofluorescence (IF) Assay Service
Using highly specific antibodies, we rapidly and accurately identify common viruses in livestock and companion animals. Our IF analysis service utilizes fluorescence microscopy to provide customers with visually high-resolution images of virus infections.
Immunoperoxidase (IP) Assay Service
Our IP assay service employs immunoperoxidase enzyme technology to meet strict client requirements, ensuring the identification of veterinary virus surface antigens through antigen-antibody reactions with specific antibodies.
ELISA Service
Renowned for high specificity and sensitivity, our ELISA service quickly and reliably binds to virus surface antigens, facilitating the identification of target viruses.
Virus Neutralization (NEUT) Assay Service
Our NEUT assay service quantify the neutralizing efficacy of antibodies in samples against virus infections, aiding customers in understanding the immune system's response to specific viruses.
Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Assay Service
Our HAI assay services use the principle that antibodies inhibit the hemagglutination of viruses. By mixing serum samples, viruses, and red blood cells, we observe the effect of inhibiting hemagglutination for customers.
Passive Agglutination (PA) Assay Service
By observing passive agglutination phenomena resulting from mixing veterinary viruses with antibodies in experimental animal sera, the PA assay service helps customers accurately identify virus levels in samples.
Radioimmunoassay Service
We utilize radiolabeled antibodies to bind to viral antigens and help customers quantitatively detect viruses by measuring the radioactivity levels of the radiolabels.
Immune Adherence Hemagglutination Assay Service
Our IAHA service guides virus and red blood cell interaction through specific antibodies, forming hemagglutination. By observing the formation and characteristics of hemagglutination, we help customers accurately identify the presence of viruses in samples.
