Qualitative Detection Of Antibodies Against Canine Distemper Virus

Test applicable to: Dog
Sample: Whole Blood, Plasma or Serum

FASTest CDV Ab is a rapid immunochromatographic ‘lateral flow’ test for the semi-quantitative assay of Canine Distemper Virus IgG-antibodies in canine serum or plasma.

FASTest CDV Ab. allows the veterinarian to make a fast decision concerning the best time to vaccinate, especially in puppies where the presence of maternal antibody can neutralise the vaccine.

Maternal Antibodies

The antibodies are basic modules of the humoral immune response which are passed passively via the colostrum as so-called maternal antibodies (mAb). These are passed onto new-borns or induced actively by natural field infection or vaccination.

These antibodies can vary in quantity in each individual animal depending on multiple factors.
