Abstract:
A fluorescence polarization assay for Equine Infectious Anemia Virus utilizes a short peptide reagent probe derived from a conserved immunodominant region of gp45. The probe is N-terminally labeled, preferably with 6-carboxyfluorescein, and purified by HPLC, which reacts in a homogenous assay with anti-EIAV antibodies contained in the serum of field infected horses and ponies. The assay has a sensitivity of about 90 percent with a specificity approaching 100 percent.
As the police struggled to keep order, trying to keep the distraught calm and television cameras away, Mohammad Nasir hoped somehow that his brother's body would be intact despite the horrific force of the crash.
