Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) Kit (30 Strips)

A qualitative enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro detection of antibodies to SIV in serum or plasma. Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) infection in monkeys has become the best animal model for studying the pathogenesis of and efficacy of vaccines against HIV infection in humans. Nitrocellulose strips contain SIVMAC viral proteins resulting from electrophoresis and electroblotting of detergent disrupted virus particles. Individual strips are reacted with diluted serum or plasma specimens. If specific SIV antibodies are present, they will bind to the SIV proteins on the nitrocellulose. What's included: 30 SIV nitrocellulose strips, 100 µL vial of nonreactive control, 100 µL vial of reactive control (125 mL) bottle of blotting buffer, 100 mL bottle of 20x wash buffer, 100 µL vial of conjugate, 75 mL bottle of substrate, 10 g packet of blotting powder, and one 10-well incubation tray. Supplier Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is included with product shipment.

Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) is the most closely related lentivirus to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), therefore, SIV infection in monkeys has become the best animal model for studying the pathogenesis of and efficacy of vaccines against HIV infection in humans. (1-7,10-12) The ZeptoMetrix Western Blot Assay is a qualitative enzyme immunoassay for the in vitro detection of antibodies to SIV in serum or plasma. It is supplied for research purposes only. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis or prognosis of disease, or for screening and may not be used as a confirmatory test in diagnostic situations.
