Calicivirus, Feline Antigen

Viral antigen preparation targeting Feline Calicivirus (FCV), supplied by Antibodies.com for diagnostic assay development and veterinary virology research. Feline Calicivirus is a non-enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus in the family Caliciviridae, recognized as one of the principal causative agents of upper respiratory tract disease in domestic cats. Infection commonly presents with oral ulceration, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, and transient lameness, with virulent systemic strains producing a more severe systemic illness.

This antigen is provided as a 1 mg liquid formulation suitable for use as an immunogen or as a coating reagent in ELISA protocols. Researchers investigating seroprevalence, vaccine candidate screening, and antigenic variation among circulating FCV strains use purified FCV antigen preparations for antibody detection assays and for characterizing immune responses in feline populations.

Storage and handling: the product is supplied in liquid form and should be stored refrigerated to preserve antigenic activity across multiple working aliquots. The material is intended for research use only and supports downstream applications including ELISA plate coating, western blot, and immunohistochemistry procedures focused on feline respiratory pathogens.

Target: Calicivirus. Format: vial. Applications: ELISA.
