Field of application

FASTest® IgG bovine is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the semiquantitative detection of IgG antibodies (immune status) in the native blood, whole blood, plasma and serum of cattle

Preface

The immune system protects the body from invasion of various pathogens (antigens). A part of this protection, the humoral immune defence, is guaranteed by the formation of blood soluble antibodies (immune globulines). The immune globulines G (IgG, gamma globulines) belong to the antibody class G mainly directed against viruses and bacteria.

Due to the special placenta conditions, newborn calves often show no to hardly noteworthy IgG. Therefore, the most important base for an immunoprophylaxis is an adequate supplementation with IgG.
