Abstract
A method for detecting the presence of antibody to FIV in a biological sample. The method includes the steps of providing a first antigen having a first epitope recognized by the antibody, the first antigen being detectable; contacting the first antigen with the sample under conditions under which the antibody can bind to the first antigen to form an immune complex; and detecting the immune complex. An ELISA test for FIV, using purified FIV antigen, is also described.
