IDvet offers both a nucleoprotein-based cELISA to detect antibodies against all Influenza strains, and serotype-specific cELISAs to detect potentially highly-pathogenic H5 and H7 strains.

To monitor outbreaks with these kits:
• Flocks found positive with the nucleoprotein cELISA are tested with the H5 or H7 ELISA.
• Positive H5 or H7 results are confirmed by HI, before proceeding to additional virological testing.
• Once the serotype is confirmed as H5 or H7, widescale screening may be performed directly with the H5 or H7 cELISAs.

Easy-to-use, particularly in comparison to HI, these ELISAs are well adapted to high throughput testing.

ID Screen H5 cELISA: improved performance and detection of new clades
Thanks to the use of a new monoclonal antibody, the ID Screen H5 cELISA now offers improved sensitivity while maintaining the same high specificity as the original version.

The test:
• correctly detects new emergent clades (H5N2, H5N8) which were missed by HI tests at the beginning of the outbreaks;
• identifies low and high pathogenic strains;
• shows high agreement with HI results when homologous antigens are used

Other Influenza products from IDvet:
• Nucleoprotein cELISA
• Subtype-specific cELISAs (H5, H7, N1, N2 or N9)
