Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants, other biological fluids

This Kit allows for the determination of LCMV concentrations in Mouse serum, cellculture supernates and other biological fluids.

Store kit reagents at 2-8 °C for 6 months. Immediately after use remaining reagents should be returned to cold storage at 4 °C.

3.75 ng/L - 60 ng/L

The minimum detectable dose (MDD) of Mouse LCMV is typically less than 0.1 ng/L.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) is a rodent-borne viral infectious disease that presents as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis or meningoencephalitis. Its causative agent is lymphocytic choriomeningitis mammarenavirus (LCMV), a member of the family Arenaviridae. LCMV infection manifests itself in a wide range of clinical symptoms, and may even be asymptomatic for immunocompetent individuals. Onset typically occurs between one or two weeks after exposure to the virus and is followed by a biphasic febrile illness. During the initial or prodromal phase, which may last up to a week, common symptoms include fever, lack of appetite, headache, muscle aches, malaise, nausea, and/or vomiting. Less frequent symptoms include a sore throat and cough, as well as joint, chest, and parotid pain.
