Fluorescence Polarization Detection of Brucella abortus and Mycobacterium bovis specific antibodies Using Kits from Diachemix
نویسنده
چکیده
Brucella abortus and Mycobacterium bovis are zoonotic pathogens that cause Brucellosis and Tuberculosis in cattle respectively. Besides being a serious public health threat, these agents cause significant economic losses throughout the world. Here we use the fluorescence polarization capabilities of the SynergyTM 2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader to run Brucella and Mycobacterium bovis antibody detection kits from Diachemix.

متن کاملFluorescence polarization assay for detection of Brucella abortus antibodies in bulk tank bovine milk samples.
A simple, rapid, inexpensive fluorescence polarization assay for the detection of antibodies to Brucella abortus in bulk tank milk samples at the farm level or at dairies with a sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 95.9%, respectively, is described. The assay detects antibodies to B. abortus in 15 min by testing undiluted whey produced by chemical and physical manipulation of milk from bulk t...
متن کاملProduction 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...
متن کاملProduction of MPT-64 recombinant protein from virulent strain of Mycobacterium bovis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic infectious disease common to humans and animals which has been caused by a rod shaped, acid fast bacterium, called Mycobacterium bovis. The rapid and sensitive detection is a great challenge for TB diagnosis. The virulent strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) have 16 different regions of difference (RD) in their genome which encode some important a...
متن کاملBrucella abortus strain RB51 as a vector for heterologous protein expression and induction of specific Th1 type immune responses.
Brucella abortus strain RB51 is a stable, rough, attenuated mutant widely used as a live vaccine for bovine brucellosis. Our ultimate goal is to develop strain RB51 as a preferential vector for the delivery of protective antigens of other intracellular pathogens to which the induction of a strong Th1 type of immune response is needed for effective protection. As a first step in that direction, ...
