![Anti-Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) Virus [8E3] Antibody](https://www.kerafast.com/MediaStorage/Product/Images/Large/4299_2001202001284342980.jpg "Anti-Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD) Virus [8E3] Antibody (supernatant), 5mL")
This mouse IgM monoclonal antibody was generated against DNA virus (Circoviridea) and recognizes psittacine beak and feather disease virus (PBFD).
Highlights:
- Reacts with PBFD
- Useful research tool involving other avian circoviruses
- Binds strongly with PBFD
- Does not induce hemagglutination inhibition, possibly signaling the potential for the development of therapeutic measures, as a coadjuvant
- Suitable for ELISA, Dot-immunoblotting, Hemagglutination inhibition (HI, negative for HI) and Immunohistochemical applications
Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) or Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circular or icosahedral, 14-16 nm diameter, single-stranded circular DNA, non-enveloped virus with a genome size of between 1992 and 2018 nucleotides. PBFDV is now considered a Global Invasive Species, affecting birds in Africa, Oceania, Asia, Europe and North and South Americas, Pacific Islands and a variant of the virus appears to infect lories and similar circoviruses have been identified in doves, pigeons, gulls, geese, canaries and finches. Symptoms include irreversible loss of feathers, shedding of developing feathers, development of abnormal feathers, new pinched feathers, and loss of powder down.
