  • Title: Identification of Tritrichomonas foetus in sections of bovine placental tissue with monoclonal antibodies.
    Author: Burgess DE, Knoblock KF.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1989 Dec; 75(6):977-80. PubMed ID: 2693679.
    Abstract:
    Sections of bovine placenta from cases of bovine trichomoniasis were examined for the presence of Tritrichomonas foetus by standard histological methods using phase-contrast microscopy and by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) employing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for T. foetus. Parasites were identified readily in deparaffinized tissue up to 4 yr old by IFA with 2 mAbs previously shown to bind to the surface of living T. foetus. These results indicated that the IFA provided a rapid and specific method of identifying T. foetus in tissue sections as compared to standard histological methods.
