Lettuce Mosaic Virus (LMV) - TAS ELISA                                         Home    Products    Testing Services   Supplies

Catalog #:  V174
Source Antibody:  A rabbit polyclonal antibody for capture and and a monoclonal antibody as detection.
Test Format:  TAS ELISA                                   

Reactivity:  This test system detects all isolates or strains of virus.  Reaction of the ELISA is very strong.  Optical Density at 405_nm  is in a range of 1.200 - >3.000 for leaf samples and 0.400 - 1.400 for seed samples, depending  on the virus titer in the samples tested.

Sensitivity:  Sensitivity of the ELISA is very high.  The virus can be consistently detected in infected tissues diluted at 1:2430 for leaf samples and 1:30-1:90 for seed samples. This ELISA can be used to detection LMV in lettuce seeds.

Specificity:  There is no cross reaction with healthy plant tissues.  Background is very low on all of the negative control wells, include lettuce seeds..

Application:  The test can be used to detect LMV in infected host plant tissues such as leaves and seeds..

Information About the Virus

Name:  Lettuce Mosaic Virus
Acronym:  LMV
Synonyms:  Lactuca virus 1, Marmor lactucae.
Group/Genus:  Potyviruses

Vector:  Transmitted by a vector; an insect; Aphis gossypii, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, M. gei, Myzus persicae; Aphididae. Transmitted in a non-persistent manner.
Transmission:  Virus transmitted by mechanical inoculation; transmitted by seed (3-10%); transmitted by pollen to the seed.
Main host plants:  Lettuce

Viral Particle:  Filamentous particle, containing RNA genome.
Virus Infection:   Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) causes leaf mosaic, vein band and plant stunting in infected lettuce.  LMV is transmitted by aphids in non-persistent manner.  Rates of seed transmission is about 10 percent.

Geographical distribution: Probably distributed worldwide (wherever Lactuca sativa is grown).
