Evaluation of cellular immunity in bovine brucella seropositive animals has been preformed , using one invitro test , the leucocytes migration test " LMIT " and one invivo test , the skin reaction by using prepared brucellin form Brucella abortus strain RR51 .All these tests showed significant reactions and proved to be reliable tests for proper appreciation of cellular immunity in bovine bruce...

Comparison of Enzyme Immunoassays for the Diagnosis of Bovine Brucellosis

COMPARISON OF ENZYME IMMUNOASSAYS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF BOVINE BRUCELLOSIS. The indirect enzyme immunoassay for measurement of bovine antibody to Brucella abortus was tested on 15,716 Canadian sera to assess the specificity. These sera were also tested by the buffered plate antigen test. Two ELISA formats were used for assessment of data: the targeting procedure using a positive control serum al...
