CSFV IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CSFV ANTIBODIES

摘要

The present invention relates to the field of veterinary diagnosis, specifically antibody detection tests against CSFV. In particular, the invention relates to a method for detecting an antibody to wild-type CSFV in a test sample, which comprises co-incubating with a carrier comprising a mutated TAVSPTTLR epitope of a CSFV E2 protein. Furthermore, the invention relates to diagnostic test kits, and the use of the method according to the invention. In addition, the invention relates to a method for distinguishing between an animal infected with wild-type CSFV and an animal vaccinated against CSFV with a CSFV (marker) vaccine, in combination with a diagnostic test kit of the present invention and a CSFV (marker) vaccine, Associated with wild-type CSFV infection in a population.
