Canine Heartworm Antibody (3217): sc-58105

Canine Heartworm Antibody (3217) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Canine Heartworm protein by western blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Anti-Canine Heartworm antibody (3217) is available as a non-conjugated format. Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic roundworm, poses significant health risks to dogs by causing severe cardiovascular issues. Understanding Dirofilaria immitis structure is crucial due to a complex life cycle with various developmental stages adapted to different host environments. Adult heartworms grow up to 12 inches in length, residing in the right side of the heart and pulmonary arteries, causing blockages and damage to the heart and lungs. This structural adaptation enables survival in the host′s circulatory system, making early detection and treatment essential to prevent severe health consequences like congestive heart failure. Anti-Canine Heartworm antibody (3217) serves as a vital tool for researchers and veterinarians in diagnosing and studying heartworm infections, ultimately aiding in developing effective treatments and preventive measures.
