Rapid isolation and identification of Enterovirus infections is essential for proper patient management. Diagnostic HYBRIDS has used its MixedCellsTM technology to combine an engineered BGMK cell line containing hDAF (human Decay Acceleration Factor, a cellular receptor for multiple Enteroviruses) with A549 cells to allow a broad range of Enterovirus isolates to grow in a reduced time frame compared to traditional tube culture isolation. Positive results are generally evident in one to three days after inoculation.
A blend of monoclonal antibodies assure broad Enterovirus coverage and superior staining with proven proprietary monoclonal antibodies. Antibodies targeting the VP1 protein allow for Enterovirus-specific identification.
