A method of obtaining a pure suspension of Theileria sergenti piroplasms from infected bovine erythrocytes was developed and the resulting parasites used as antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Piroplasms were freed from infected erythrocytes using the nitrogen cavitation technique and then separated from unbroken erythrocytes by centrifugation at 670 gmax. The parasites in the supernatant were then sedimented by centrifugation at 2700 gmax and the purified fraction examined by electron microscopy. This examination showed that the isolated piroplasms were morphologically intact and that there were few contaminants. SDS-PAGE and spectrophotometric analysis showed that this fraction contained little erythrocyte component. The piroplasms thus obtained were sonicated and treated with Triton X-100 then used for ELISA antigen. The ELISA values had a high correlation with titres obtained using the indirect fluorescent antibody test on sera from cattle infected with T sergenti.

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.
