• Applications: RSV Antigen is available for use in ELISA test kits as a Positive Control or antigen for serological testing.
• Protein Description: Various RSV differences between strains are probably of little or no practical importance from a diagnostic point of view, since available reagents, including monoclonal antibodies, react equally with all clinical isolates. RSV is recovered almost exclusively from the respiratory tract. The specimens containing the most abundant virus are secretions obtained early in the course of the illness. In general, it is more satisfactory to make a specific diagnosis of RSV infection by recovery of the virus (or identification by rapid methods) from a properly obtained and handled secretion specimen than by serological methods. Serological methods are often of secondary importance, although in large studies they may give valuable information, and in individual instances in which cultures were not obtained they may be well worth performing.
• Note: Caution: No test guarantees a product to be non-infectious. All material should be handled as if potentially infectious. Generally accepted laboratory practices appropriate for infectious materials should be employed when handling this product.
