Detection of antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, serotype 2 in porcine colostrum using a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific for serotype 2. 1995

National Veterinary Laboratory, Copenhagen V, Denmark.

A blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) developed for detection of antibodies to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 in sera from pigs (Nielsen et al., 1991) was evaluated for its suitability to detect antibodies in colostrum to this serotype. Using colostrum from sows experimentally infected with serotype 2 and from herds known to be infected with this serotype, the sensitivity of the test was 100%. Antibodies to A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 could be detected in colostrum of experimentally infected sows until at least 5 days after farrowing. Positive results were not observed with colostrum samples from herds known to be free from A. pleuropneumoniae. The high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the assay indicated that screening of herds for A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 infection by testing colostrum would be a reliable and simple method for herd monitoring.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011001	Pleuropneumonia	Inflammation of the lung parenchyma that is associated with PLEURISY, inflammation of the PLEURA.	Pleuropneumonias
D003126	Colostrum	The thin, yellow, serous fluid secreted by the mammary glands during pregnancy and immediately postpartum before lactation begins. It consists of immunologically active substances, white blood cells, water, protein, fat, and carbohydrates.	Colostrums
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.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012680	Sensitivity and Specificity	Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)	Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).

D016977	Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic coccobacillus-shaped bacteria that has been isolated from pneumonic lesions and blood. It produces pneumonia with accompanying fibrinous pleuritis in swine.	Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae,Hemophilus pleuropneumoniae
