INTRODUCTION
Influenza viruses (Flu) are the pathogens that cause influenza. Influenza is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza A, B, and C viruses. It is infectious strong, fast spread, short incubation period, high incidence. Influenza A virus often appears in epidemic form and can cause a worldwide influenza pandemic. It is widely distributed in animals and can also cause influenza epidemics in animals and cause a large number of animal deaths. Influenza B virus often causes local outbreaks and does not cause a worldwide influenza pandemic. Therefore, the detection of influenza A and B viruses has relatively great clinical findings.
PRINCIPLE
The kit uses colloidal gold immunochromatography to detect influenza A/B virus antigens. The reagent is coated with influenza A virus monoclonal antibody (test line A), influenza B virus monoclonal antibody (test line B) and goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody (control line C) on a nitrocellulose membrane. The gold label pad contains another influenza A virus monoclonal antibody and influenza B virus monoclonal antibody coupled with colloidal gold. When a sample containing influenza A virus antigen is added to the sample well, the influenza A virus antigen will combine with the influenza A virus monoclonal antibody conjugate to form an antigen-antibody complex. The complex moves through the nitrocellulose membrane.
