Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA) with autoclaved extract of B. abortus S99 was used for the detection of Brucella antibodies in human sera. Results were compared with those of STAT, RBPT and CFT. Out of 80 sera 8(10 per cent), 15(18.7 per cent), 20(25 per cent) and 13(16.25 per cent) were found positive by RBPT, STAT, IgM dot-ELISA and IgG dot-ELISA respectively. Out of 74 sera samples tested with CFT 9(12.16 per cent) proved positive. The relative sensitivity and relative specificity in comparison with CFT was found to be 33.33 per cent, 96.92 percent for RBPT, 33.33 per cent and 84.61 per cent for STAT and 88.88 per cent and 76.92 per cent for dot-ELISA, respectively. The dot-ELISA was found to be a more sensitive, economical and a rapid test for screening of human brucellosis under field conditions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007074	Immunoglobulin G	The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007075	Immunoglobulin M	A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin.	Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D002003	Brucella abortus	A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected.	Bacterium abortus,Brucella melitensis biovar abortus
D002006	Brucellosis	Infection caused by bacteria of the genus BRUCELLA mainly involving the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM. This condition is characterized by fever, weakness, malaise, and weight loss.

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.
