Radioimmunoassay for antibodies against Brucella abortus: a new serological test for bovine brucellosis

A proficiency testing method for detecting antibodies against Brucella abortus in quantitative and qualitative serological tests.

A proficiency testing panel for detecting antibodies against Brucella abortus was developed and evaluated by both primary binding and conventional serological tests, using the guidelines of the World Organisation for Animal Health and the International Organization for Standardization Guide 43-1. All serological tests were judged satisfactory. Among the primary binding tests, the competitive en...

Serological survey for antibodies against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and parainfluenza 3 viruses among cattle in Iran

Affinity purification of bovine antibodies to Brucella abortus Lipopolysaccharide.

Alkali-treated lipopolysaccharide from Brucella abortus S1119.3 coupled to agarose beads by cyanogen bromide activation resulted in an immunoadsorbent with which a large amount of B. abortus-specific antibodies could be purified. The method described gave alkali-treated lipopolysaccharide binding efficiencies of up to 98%. There was little loss of alkali-treated lipopolysaccharide from the colu...

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against Brucella abortus S (99) Surface Antigens

By immunizing mice with killed whole bacterial cells of Brucella abortus S (99), a panel of six hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the surface antigens of this bacterium were produced. ELISA was used to screen the hybridoma supernatants. Immunoblots of the cell extract indicated that three mAb were specific for S-LPS (Ba-1, Ba-2, Ba-3) and three others were reactive w...

a new approach to credibility premium for zero-inflated poisson models for panel data

هدف اصلی از این تحقیق به دست آوردن و مقایسه حق بیمه باورمندی در مدل های شمارشی گزارش نشده برای داده های طولی می باشد. در این تحقیق حق بیمه های پبش گویی بر اساس توابع ضرر مربع خطا و نمایی محاسبه شده و با هم مقایسه می شود. تمایل به گرفتن پاداش و جایزه یکی از دلایل مهم برای گزارش ندادن تصادفات می باشد و افراد برای استفاده از تخفیف اغلب از گزارش تصادفات با هزینه پائین خودداری می کنند، در این تحقیق ...
