Broad Bean Wilt Virus - 1 and 2 (BBWV-1&2) - DAS ELISA          Home    Products    Testing Services   Supplies   Contact Us

Catalog #:  V012
Source Antibody:  Use the combination of two rabbit polyclonal antibodies made against two different serotypes of BBWV-1 and BBWV-2  for both capture and detection in order to cover all viral isolates or strains.
Test Format:  DAS ELISA                                   

Reactivity:  This ELISA based on the polyclonal antibody reacts with both BBWV-1 and BBWV-2 strains. Reaction of the ELISA is strong.  Optical Density at 405_nm  is in a range of 1.100 - 3.300 depending  on the virus titer in the samples tested.

Sensitivity:  Sensitivity of the ELISA is high.  The virus can be consistently detected in infected plant tissues diluted  at 1:810 - 2430.

Specificity:  There is no cross reaction with healthy plant tissues. Background is moderately low on the negative control wells.

Application:  The test can be used to detect both strains of BBWV-1 and BBWV-2 in infected plants.
