Abstract
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was optimized for detection of Mycoplasma bovis-specific IgG in bovine serum. The test is rapid, reproducible, convenient, and sensitive. With this assay, the serum from naturally infected and immunized calves demonstrated the presence of antibodies early in infection and rapid increase in titers during the infection. Cross-reactivity of bovine serum with mycoplasma antigens of bovine, caprine, avian, and environmental sources was tested with this assay system. Cross-reaction was measurable in all instances, with the strongest reaction measured between M bovis and M agalactiae.Entities:
