TIRAS IMMUNOGÉNICAS, PEPMV, AGRISTRIP, KIT COMPLETO PARA 25 ENSAYOS, 1 KIT

The antibodies used for this AgriStrip assay were made against different isolates of PepMV (TX1, AZ2, CH1, CH2) representing European, as well as North and South American genotypes, respectively (Ling et al. 2008*). The test specifically detects PepMV in leaf and fruit tissue, but not on seeds of tomato and pepino. The antibodies show no cross-reactivity with other Potexvirus such as PVX. Strongest coloration of testbands was obtained with a 1:240 (w/v) dilution of an extract of infected tomato leaves. *Ling, K.S., Wintermantel, W. M., and Bledsoe, M. 2008.
