Bluetongue virus (BTV) is transmitted by biting midges, which infects domestic and wild ruminants. In present study, a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) for the detection of serogroup-specific antibodies against VP7 protein of BTV has been developed. The assay measures the competition between a group specific antibody against core protein of BTV and a test serum to an optimized concentration of BTV recombinant-VP7 (r-VP7) antigen. Serum samples (n = 895) collected from small and large ruminants were used to optimize the C-ELISA. Percent inhibition (PI) values were used for estimation of the cut-off value for the C-ELISA. On receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis, different cut-off values along with their diagnostic sensitivity (DSn) and diagnostic specificity (DSp) were obtained. Among these, >50% PI value was accepted as cut-off at which DSn and Dsp was achieved as 97.6% and 98.0% respectively, at >95% confidence interval. Results show the present C-ELISA assay described to be sensitive, specific and reliable and could be adopted for serological investigation of small and large ruminants.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
