Lumpy skin disease is a viral disease that affects cattle. It is transmitted by blood-feeding insects, such as certain species of flies and mosquitoes, or ticks. It causes fever, nodules on the skin and can also lead to death, especially in animals that that have not previously been exposed to the virus. Control options include vaccinations and culling of infected animals. Lumpy skin disease can lead to significant economic losses.
The disease is present in many African countries. In 2012, it spread from the Middle East to south-east Europe, affecting EU Member States (Greece and Bulgaria) and several other countries in the Balkans. A vaccination programme has since halted the epidemic in south-east Europe.
This Recombinant Lumpy Skin Disease Virus P32 Protein, LSDV p32 protein is a recombinant protein provided in E Coli, which can be used for immunoassays such as ELISA, lateral flow assays, etc.
- For the ELISA testing, this product can be used as the coating antigen, while the anti-bovine IgG mouse monoclonal antibody HRP conjugate can be used as the secondary antibody.
- For the LFIA testing, this product can also be conjugated to colloid gold particles as the conjugate.
