ELISA Test Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) MIX (all serotypes except 10 12 13 14) Swinecheck

This is an immunoenzymatic assay for the detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1-2-9-11, 3-6-8-15 and 4-5-7 in porcine serum.

DESCRIPTION:
This is an immunoenzymatic assay for the detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1-2-9-11, 3-6-8-15 and 4-5-7 in porcine serum.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:
Pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is an important swine disease that can result in considerable economic losses. Serological testing is a major diagnostic tool to detect herds infected with APP or to certify the absence of infection. There are presently 15 recognized serotypes of APP. As the economical importance of these serotypes varies significantly depending on the country, serological testing is usually limited to the most relevant serotypes and is based on serotype specific tests.
In herds considered to be free of several serotypes, a screening test able to simultaneously detect antibodies against the most relevant serotypes would simplify testing and reduce testing costs. In case of positive or suspect reactions, samples can be examined using relevant serotype specific tests.

CHARACTERISTICS:
- Indirect ELISA: Specific antigens to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
- Rapid (Less than 2 hours)
- Test per kit: 180 samples tested for serotypes 1-2-9-11 and 4-5-7,
184 samples tested for serotypes 3-6-8-15
