FeLV p27 Antibody (8.F.192): sc-57733

FeLV p27 Antibody (8.F.192) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects p27 protein of Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) by western blotting (WB). FeLV is a retrovirus that primarily infects cats, spreading through saliva, nasal secretions, and other bodily fluids, leading to significant health issues such as immunosuppression and increased mortality rates among infected felines. FeLV p27 (8.F.192) antibody recognizes the major core protein of FeLV, which plays a crucial role in the virus′s structure and function. p27 presence is vital for the assembly and stability of the viral particle, making FeLV p27 monoclonal antibody (8.F.192) an important tool for diagnostic purposes. By detecting p27, researchers can effectively identify FeLV infections, which is essential for managing and controlling the spread of this virus in feline populations. The ability of FeLV to persist in the host, particularly if integrated into the bone marrow, underscores the importance of early detection and monitoring, as approximately 30% of infected cats succumb to the disease. FeLV p27 (8.F.192) antibody serves as an invaluable tool for veterinary diagnostics, enabling the identification of infected cats and facilitating timely intervention.

The preferred FeLV p27 antibody is FeLV p27 Antibody (PF12J-10A): sc-65623.
