Abstract
To estimate the immune response against
Pasteurella multocida B:2 in cattle
and buffalo, different serological assays have been used as agglutination and
indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA), but none is highly sensitive. Enzyme
Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) has been effectively used to determine the
immune status in vaccinated cattle and buffalo. It was developed by using
purified recombinant outer membrane H protein (rOmpH) as coating antigen of
P. multocida B: 2. The optimum
condition for this assay was 1/800 coated rOmpH antigen (1.22 ug/mL), 1/400
dilution of primary sera and 1/5000 dilution of the conjugate. The cut-off value
was calculated as 0.101. The sensitivity and specificity of developed ELISA was
92 and 86% respectively. Positive and negative predictive value was 87.42 and
91.6% respectively. This finding suggests that an in-house indirect ELISA is
highly sensitive than IHA and can be used to monitor the bovine antibodies
against hemorrhagic septicemia in Pakistan.
