B.BTB Ab ELISA 2.0

【Cat. NO】EB4304PO

Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis infection is usually diagnosed in the live animal on the basis of delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Subclinical infection is common and clinical signs are non-specific in many cases. A sensitive and accurate diagnostic tool is required because purified protein derivative (PPD) tests have been known to have 65.6% sensitivity (Wood et al.,Vet. Microbiol, 40:125-135. 1994) and other mycobacterium infection (eg; M.avium) should be distinguished with this method. The MPB 70 protein has been revealed to be a highly species specific protein secreted by Mycobacterium bovis. Anigen BTB Ab ELISA 2.0 test kit has been developed using MPB70 protein in an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay method. The serological diagnostic test is suitable for massive screening of bovine tuberculosis to detect mid to late (anergy) state cattle.
