Anti-Cat Serum antibody produced in rabbit was fluoresceinated and used in indirect immunofluorescence assay for the detection of feline immunodeficiency virus.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Strong reactivity with normal cat serum has been deter-mined by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP). This antiserum has not been assayed for interspecies cross reactivity.
Physical form
Rabbit anti-Cat Serum is provided as a liquid containing 0.1% sodium azide (see MSDS) as preservative.
