Horse West Nile Virus IgG ELISA Kit, Abbexa, abx050319

Horse West Nile Virus IgG ELISA Kit is an ELISA Kit for the detection of West Nile Virus IgG Antibodies in Horse serum, plasma and other biological fluids. West Nile virus (WNV) is a single-stranded RNA virus that causes West Nile fever. It is a member of the family Flaviviridae, specifically from the genus Flavivirus, which also contains the Zika virus, dengue virus, and yellow fever virus. West Nile virus is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes, mostly species of the genus Culex, but ticks have also been found to carry the virus. Like most other flaviviruses, WNV is an enveloped virus consisting of a protein shell and a lipid membrane. The protein shell is made of two structural proteins: the glycoprotein E and the small membrane protein M. Protein E serve numerous functions, several of which include receptor binding, viral attachment, and entry into the cell through membrane fusion.
