Thermo Scientific™ PathoDx™ Respiratory Virus Panel Parainfluenza 3 Reagent
Description
PathoDx™ Respiratory Virus Panel Parainfluenza 3 Reagent along with RVP kit is a direct immunofluorescence test used to detect parainfluenza virus 3.
Thermo Scientific™ Remel™ PathoDx™ Respiratory Virus Panel Parainfluenza 3 Reagent along with PathoDx Respiratory Virus Panel (RVP) kit is a direct immunofluorescence test for the qualitative detection of Parainfluenza virus 3 in prepared patient specimens following growth in cell culture. The Parainfluenza viruses and RSV (Repsiratory Synsytial Virus) comprise the most significant viral respiratory pathogens in infants and young children. The clinical diseases caused by Parainfluenza viruses include rhinorrhea, cough, croup (laryngotracheo-bronchitis), bronchiolitis, and pneumonia1,2.
The Parainfluenza viruses (PIV) belong to the family Paramyxoviridae. The Parainfluenza viruses also possess hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, and cell fusion activities. Four human Parainfluenza virus serotypes have been identified (types 1, 2, 3, and 4). Parainfluenza types 1, 2, and 3 are readily isolated by cell culture while parainfluenza type 4 is more difficult to cultivate3,4. Type 3 infection can produce croup and type 3 is second only to RSV as the cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants less than 6 months of age4.
- Ready to use – Prepared reagents

Parainfluenzae 3 Reagent (White cap) One dropper bottle containing 2.0 mL of fluorescein-labeled, purified, specific murine monoclonal antibodies, and Evans blue counterstain in a protein-stabilized buffer solution, with 0.098% sodium azide as preservative.
Cell culture isolation of parainfluenza viruses is usually done with primary rhesus monkey kidney cells or human kidney cell lines. Cell lines that have been successfully used for propagating parainfluenza viruses include RMK, HEK, LLC-MK2, Vero, A549, and HEp-24.
