Canine distemper antigen (CDV Ag) Test Kit

Canine distemper virus antigen (CDV Ag) is a specific protein on the surface of the canine distemper virus. Detecting whether canine distemper virus antigen exists in a dog is of great significance for diagnosing whether the dog is infected with the canine distemper virus.

Clinical application:

• Early Diagnosis:

In the early stage of canine distemper virus infection in dogs, the presence of the virus can be detected in time by testing for CDV Ag, which is helpful to start treatment as soon as possible and increase the cure rate.

For example, a dog that has just shown mild symptoms such as fever and cough and is tested positive for CDV Ag can be quickly diagnosed and receive targeted treatment. 

• Disease Screening: 

For dogs with unexplained fever, respiratory symptoms, or neurological symptoms, testing for CDV Ag is helpful to check whether it is canine distemper infection.

Like a dog that shows listlessness and loss of appetite, and is tested positive for CDV Ag, the cause of the disease is thus identified as canine distemper. 

• Monitoring treatment effect:

During the treatment process, regularly detecting the level changes of CDV Ag can help understand the clearance of the virus and evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.

For example, for a dog with canine distemper that is undergoing treatment, as the treatment progresses, the level of CDV Ag gradually decreases until it turns negative, indicating a good treatment effect.
