Thanks MC! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MaryChristine Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 12:12 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org; felvpositivecats Subject: [Felvtalk] got some info on what the IFA actually tests for
still need more--seems that it DOES indeed test for ANTIGENS as the ELISA does, but for a different sort of antigen. will send the quotation tomorrow when i'm more awake--it's from a 2001 abstract on managing retroviruses. has some really interesting stuff about how accurate or inaccurate ELISA's are. i'm not at all sure that the information in it is valid now, and it's just an abstract that i've got, but fascinating in terms of what we THINK we know now....
