Platelia Rabies II Kit ad usum veterinarium

The Platelia Rabies II Kit ad usum veterinarium uses an ELISA technique intended for the detection and titration of rabies anti-glycoprotein antibodies in animal sera. Antibody titration in animals is used for:

• Individual serology for international trade purposes: antibodies are measured to assess the immune response of vaccinated animals (for example, cats and dogs)
• Confirmation of the vaccination status: control of the antibody response provides an indirect assessment of the effectiveness of oral vaccination campaigns in wildlife animals (for example, foxes)

• Checking vaccinated people who have come in contact with rabid animals, since these individuals are usually revaccinated and submitted to serological titration before entering into the Post Exposure Treatment protocol
