Summary:

Purpose

Our Quick Step Bovine Herpesvirus 4,HHV-4 ELISA Kit is to for the qualitative determination of HHV-4 in Bovine serum, plasma, culture media or any biological fluid.

Principle

The ELISA is based on the the qualitative enzyme immunofor technique.The Microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to HHV-4, make it to solid-phase antibody.Samples are added to the Microplate wells and combined to the specific antibody. Then a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody specific for HHV-4 is added to each Microplate well and incubated,so the antibody-antigen-Enzyme labeled antibody complex is formed.Following a wash to remove any unbound reagent,then the TMB substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain HHV-4 and HRP conjugated HHV-4 antibody will appear blue in color and then turn yellow after the addition of the stop solution. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. The qualitative determination of HHV-4 is determined by comparing with the CUT OFF value.

Determine the result
Test effectiveness: the average value of positive control ≥1.00; The average value of negative control ≤0.10. 
The critical value (CUT OFF) calculation: critical value = the average value of   negative control + 0.15
Negative judgement:if the OD value<CUT OFF, the sample is Bovine HHV-4 negative.
Positive judgement: if the OD value ≥CUT OFF,the sample is Bovine HHV-4 positive.
