pigtype CSFV Erns Ab

The pigtype CSFV Erns Ab is a double antigen ELISA for the rapid and reliable detection of antibodies to the Erns protein of the Classical Swine Fever Virus.

• Enables early identification of an CSFV infection independently from the CSFV genotype
• Effectively monitor the spread of disease: Erns-based antigen allows differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals (DIVA potential in combination with Suvaxyn® CSFV marker or equivalent vaccines)
• More sensitive and easier to use compared to other commercially available Erns and E2 Ab ELISAs
• Saves precious lab time: Short and simple step-by-step protocol for results in 2.5 hours only 
• Colored ready-to-use reagents

Classical Swine Fever Virus / Classical Swine Fever

CSFV belongs to the genus Pestivirus of the family Flaviviridae and causes severe and highly contagious disease in Suidae (e.g., domestic pig and wild boar). Therefore, classical swine fever (CSF) is of worldwide importance. As CSF shows highly variable clinical symptoms, laboratory diagnostic methods are necessary for the diagnosis of an infection. Animals infected with CSFV develop antibodies to different antigens, e.g., the viral envelope proteins Erns and E2.
