Cat#:EIA-668C;Product Name:H1N1 HA ELISA Kit;Size:5 Plates;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:HA; HA1; HA2; Hemagglutinin; Hemagglutinin HA1 chain; Hemagglutinin HA2 chain;Background:Influenza A virus is a genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family of viruses and includes only one species, which causes influenza in birds and some mammals. Strains of all subtypes of influenza A virus have been isolated from wild birds, although disease is uncommon. Some isolates of influenza A virus cause severe disease both in domestic poultry and, rarely, in humans. Influenza A viruses are negative sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses. There are several subtypes, labeled according to an H number (for the type of hemagglutinin) and an N number (for the type of neuraminidase). There are 16 different H antigens (H1 to H16) and nine different N antigens (N1 to N9). In June 2009, World Health Organization declared that flu due to a new strain of swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. The new influenza A (H1N1) appears to be as contagious as seasonal influenza, and is spreading fast particularly among young people (from ages 10 to 45). The severity of the disease ranges from very mild symptoms to severe illnesses that can result in death. The majority of people who contract the virus experience the milder disease and recover without antiviral treatment or medical care. Of the more serious cases, more than half of hospitalized people had underlying health conditions or weak immune systems. Flu A (Ag) Kits make it applicable as a influenza A antigen detection test-providing rapid, relevant information to assist with specific antiviral intervention and other clinical or support decisions.;Species Reactivity:Virus;Application:quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
