  • Title: A competitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of bovine antibodies to Brucella abortus using monoclonal antibodies.
    Author: Rylatt DB, Wyatt DM, Bundesen PG.
    Journal: Vet Immunol Immunopathol; 1985 Feb; 8(3):261-71. PubMed ID: 3922105.
    Abstract:
    A competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection of circulating bovine antibodies to Brucella abortus has been developed using horseradish peroxidase conjugated monoclonal antibodies (MAb) raised against B. abortus cell surface antigens. Antibodies present in the serum of either vaccinated or infected cattle can apparently displace the conjugated MAb from the lipopolysaccharide antigen (LPS) in a quantitatively different manner allowing an assessment of immune status of the animal. The results from a panel of sera from animals with a known status of vaccination or infection indicated that the test was more selective in the detection and discrimination of infected from uninfected or immunized animals, than conventional complement fixation, agglutination or indirect enzyme immunoassay procedures.
