Chinese name: Feline Total Allergen IgE Antibody (fTIgE) Test Kit
English name: fTIgE one step test
【Packing specifications】
10 tests/ box
【Detection purpose】
IgE is a type of immunoglobulin (Ig) with a molecular weight of 188kD and a very low
content in serum. It is usually used for the diagnosis of allergic reactions. In addition, it
can also assist in the diagnosis of parasitic infections and multiple myeloma. 1. Allergic
reaction: When an allergic reaction occurs, the allergen IgE rises. The higher the allergen
IgE, the more serious the allergic reaction. 2. Parasite infection: After a pet is infected by
parasite, the allergen IgE may also increase, which is generally related to the mild
allergy caused by the parasite protein. In addition, the presence of a tumor in the report
may also lead to elevated total IgE.
【Detection principle】
This product uses fluorescence immunochromatography to quantitatively detect the total
IgE content in cat serum/plasma. The basic principle is as follows: There are T line and
C line on the nitrate fiber membrane. The T-line is coated with an antibody a that can
specifically recognize the fTIgE antigen. On the binding pad is another antibody b,
fluorescently labeled with a nanomaterial, which also binds to fTIgE. fTIgE in the
sample and antibody b form a combination and then chromatography. The complex
reaches the T-line and binds to antibody a to form a sandwich structure. Under the
excitation light, nano-material reflect fluorescence signal, and the strength of the signal is
positively correlated with the concentration of fTIgE in the sample.
