ELISA Reagent Set for Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)

Tech Note: Test Format and Protocol Change

This ELISA test is a qualitative serological assay for the detection of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), the causal agent of Tobacco mosaic disease, in crops including vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. TMV is a member of the Tobamovirus genus known for their rod-shaped virus particles. This ELISA has a wide cross-reactivity with other Tobamoviruses. For a complete list click here.

Tobacco mosaic virus is an extremely stable virus and can easily infect adjacent plants and contaminate all kinds of surfaces, such as benches, pots, and tools.

Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV) 1:5,000,000 dilution of infected tissue (pathogen titer unknown)
Sunn-hemp mosaic virus (SHMV) 1:100,000 to 1:500,000 dilution of infected tissue (pathogen titer unknown)
Tobacco mild green mosaic virus (TMGMV) 1:500,000 dilution of infected tissue (pathogen titer unknown)
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) 10-100 pg/mL of purified virus
Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) 1-10 ng/mL of purified virus
Tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) 1:50,000 to 1:100,000 dilution of infected tissue (pathogen titer unknown)
Turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) 1:5,000,000 dilution of infected tissue (pathogen titer unknown)
1Confirmed experimentally at Agdia, Inc.
2Reported to detect Piper chlorosis virus (PChV), a possible novel Tobamovirus.

Despite the broad reactivity of this test, it is recommended that specific viral tests be used when available as they are optimized for test specificity and sensitivity which may exceed the sensitivity and specificity of the TMV assay to other Tobamoviruses. If you have confirmed the detection of a likely cross-reaction Tobamovirus or any Tobamoviruses not on this list, please contact us.
