An indirect ELISA using a monoclonal anti-IgG1 enzyme conjugate for diagnosis of bovine brucellosis was evaluated. Three groups of sera from negative non-vaccinated, from negative vaccinated and from positive cows were used. The specificity of the ELISA for negative non-vaccinated cows was 99.2 and 99.6% for negative but vaccinated cows. The sensitivity of this technique estimated with positive sera was 99.5%. The ELISA evaluated appears to be a very useful tool in the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis, particularly for regions where little epidemiological information is available about this disease and where large numbers of sera should be tested to obtain such information.

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.

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
