Canine influenza (known as dog flu) is a contagious respiratory disease (e.g., pneumonia) in dogs caused by specific Type A influenza viruses. The symptoms of this disease in dogs are cough, runny nose, eye discharge, fever, lethargy, and reduced appetite, but not all dogs will show signs of illness. As the canine influenza virus (CIV) is rapidly transmitted between dogs, immediate diagnosis is essential. RIDX® CIV Ag Test Kit is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of canine influenza virus antigens in canine pharyngeal or nasal secretions. This kit shows two letters which are the test (T) line and the control (C) line on the surface of the device. If the CIV antigen exists in the sample, it binds to the cellulose nanobeads (CNB)-conjugated CIV antibody. The antigen-antibody complex moves through the membrane by capillary force and responds to the CIV antibody on the test line, resulting in a red line. The control line indicates that the test is performed correctly and should appear when the test is complete. The highly selective and sensitive two monoclonal antibodies to CIV are used as capture and detector in the kit. RIDX® CIV Ag Test Kit can detect CIV antigens in canine nasal or pharyngeal secretions with high accuracy.
