Development of immunoassays for the detection of kanamycin in veterinary fields

Monoclonal antibody against kanamycin was prepared, and competitive direct ELISA and immunochromatographic assay were developed using the antibody to detect kanamycin in animal plasma and milk. The monoclonal antibody produced was identified to be IgG1, which has a kappa light chain. No cross-reactivity of the antibody was detected with other aminoglycosides, indicating that the monoclonal antibody was highly specific for kanamycin. Based on competitive direct ELISA, the detection limits of kanamycin were determined to be 1.1 ng/ml in PBS, 1.4 ng/ml in plasma, and 1.0 ng/ml in milk. The concentration of intramuscularly injected kanamycin was successfully monitored in rabbit plasma with competitive direct ELISA. Based on the colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay, the detection limits of kanamycin were estimated to be about 6-8 ng/ml in PBS, plasma, and milk. The immunochromatographic assay would be suitable for rapid and simple screening of kanamycin residues in veterinary medicine. Screened positives can be confirmed using a more sensitive laboratory method such as competitive direct ELISA. Therefore, the assays developed in this study could be used to complement each other as well as other laboratory findings. Moreover, instead of slaughtering the animals to obtain test samples, these methods could be applied to determine kanamycin concentration in the plasma of live animals.     

Detection of duck plague virus by reverse passive hemagglutination test

A reverse passive hemagglutination (RPHA) test was developed to detect duck plague virus (DPV). The technique used sheep erythrocytes stabilized with formaldehyde and pyruvaldehyde and coated with immunoglobulin G (IgG) containing anti-DPV antibody prepared from antiserum produced in sheep. Optimum coating of stabilized erythrocytes occurred at 25 C and pH 4.0 with a concentration of IgG of 20-40 micrograms/ml and a 90-min incubation period. The coated cells were stable for 40 days when stored at 4 C or for at least 4 months (the longest period tested) when frozen at -70 C or -196 C. The RPHA test was conducted at 25 C and read after 3 hours. The high specificity of the test is indicated by the absence of cross-reactions with heterologous virus strains, with specimens prepared from normal duck livers, and with normal chicken embryo chorioallantoic fluid, as well as by the inhibition of hemagglutination only with DPV antiserum. The RPHA test detected six strains of DPV in all virus-containing specimens as well as the immunofluorescence (IF) test did; however, conventional plaque assays (PA) failed to detect virus in five specimens that contained three non-plaque-forming strains of DPV. The mean quantity of DPV that could be detected in the RPHA test was 25 plaque-forming units or 65 fluorescent units per ml. Although the RPHA test was less sensitive than either the PA or the IF test, there was a positive correlation in the titers of DPV antigens between all three tests. The RPHA test is a rapid, simple procedure that is sufficiently sensitive for diagnostic detection of DPV in acute infections, especially in tissues of ducks dying of the disease.     

Partial passive protection with two monoclonal antibodies and frequency of feeding of hyperimmune anti-transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) serum for protection of three-day-old piglets from a TGEV challenge infection.

Passive protection experiments were conducted to determine the frequency and amounts of hyperimmune antiserum needed to block a transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) challenge infection and to identify monoclonal antibodies that are partially protective against TGEV. Hyperimmune antiserum or monoclonal antibodies were added to milk at each feeding or at selected feedings when the amount of antiserum was reduced. Three-day-old piglets were challenged with virulent virus that had been preincubated with antiserum or monoclonal antibodies. The results indicated that supplementing antiserum every other day was not efficacious for protection. Supplementing even small quantities of hyperimmune antiserum (0.5 ml) at least once a day in most cases was sufficient for piglet survival but did not prevent morbidity. Increasing the amount (>2 ml) and providing antiserum 3 times/day completely blocked the TGEV challenge infection. Two monoclonal antibodies were discovered that also provided passive protection for baby pigs. One monoclonal antibody, 5G1, had a high neutralizing titer, and the other, 6C4, was more effective in neutralizing and binding to virulent TGEV than to attenuated TGEVs. Both of these monoclonal antibodies were partially effective as supplements in milk for passive protection. Furthermore, these monoclonal antibodies were useful for boosting the efficacy of TGEV-neutralizing colostrum, which by itself was ineffective. These results show that other antigenic sites, different from the 4-well characterized epitopes on the S glycoprotein of TGEV, also are important for passive protection.     

Assessment of pregnancy‐associated glycoprotein (PAG) concentrations in swamp buffalo samples from fetal and maternal origins by using interspecies antisera

Pregnancy‐associated glycoproteins (PAG) constitute a large family of glycoproteins found in the outer placental epithelial cell layer of the placenta in Eutherian species. In ruminants, they are noted to be structurally closely related among the different species. This study was designed to determine PAG concentrations in maternal and fetal plasma, allantoic and amniotic fluids in buffalo species. Antisera (AS) generated in rabbits against distinct PAG molecules were used in three radioimmunoassay (RIA)‐PAG systems: RIA‐1 (antiserum raised against bovine PAG67kDa; AS#497), RIA‐2 (antiserum raised against caprine PAG55 + 62 kDa; AS#706) or RIA‐3 (antiserum raised against buffalo PAG; AS#859). Samples were collected at a slaughterhouse (n = 67). PAG concentrations determined by RIA‐2 gave significantly higher results in both allantoic and amniotic fluids (12.7 ± 2.1 ng/mL and 24.0 ± 7.3 ng/mL, respectively). Regarding maternal and fetal plasma, PAG concentrations obtained by RIA‐2 (21.8 ± 2.4 ng/mL and 20.2 ± 2.5 ng/mL, respectively) and RIA‐3 (25.0 ± 2.2 ng/mL and 21.9 ± 3.2 ng/mL, respectively) were higher than those obtained by RIA‐1 (15.5 ± 1.4 ng/mL and 16.1 ± 1.8 ng/mL, respectively). The correlation among the three systems was very high. The study clearly reveals the ability of different PAG‐RIA systems to measure PAG concentration in swamp buffalo samples.

Use of enzyme immunoassay and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to detect and confirm identity of dexamethasone in equine blood.

An enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was developed for detection of dexamethasone in equine blood. Dexamethasone 21-hemisuccinate-bovine serum albumin was used for immunization of rabbits, and prednisolone 21-hemisuccinate-horseradish peroxidase was used as enzyme conjugate. The assay had sensitivity in the low-picogram range (detection limit, 0.3 pg/well, 50% inhibition of binding at 4.5 +/- 0.7 pg/well). Apart from cortisol, which was recognized by the antiserum at concentration > 8.5 ng/ml, the dexamethasone antiserum failed to interfere with endogenous steroids, but cross-reacted with triamcinolone, flumethasone, and betamethasone. Thus, the antiserum was used to perform simultaneous screening for these synthetic glucocorticoids and to confirm their identity by combining reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and EIA. The immunoreactivity obtained by direct serum measurements was characterized by means of 2 independent RP-HPLC systems. Serum extracts were submitted to RP-HPLC systems I and II, and the fractions were tested by EIA. Immunoreactive peaks were identified by comparing their retention time with that of the standard glucocorticoids used for calibration. Coinjection of an internal standard (methylprednisolone) in RP-HPLC system II yielded reproducible relative retention times. The effectiveness of the test system was evaluated, using blood from a horse treated with commonly used veterinary preparations of dexamethasone. Administration of the free alcohol of dexamethasone and of dexamethasone 21-trioxaundecanoate, both given IV, was detected, and the identity of each was confirmed for up to 48 hours. Intramuscular administration of dexamethasone 21-isonicotinate was continued for at least 14 days after injection of a therapeutic dose.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

A double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus antibody and antigen

A highly sensitive and specific double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is described for the detection of antigen and antibody of turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV). The assay utilizes a virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody (MAb) to capture the antigen and turkey antiserum against HEV as the second antibody. Microtiter plates were first coated with a dilution of 1:3000 of the MAb (300 ng immunoglobulin/well) and are used for detection of both antigen and antibody. For antibody detection, MAb-coated plates were treated with an appropriate dilution of a cell-culture-propagated HEV antigen and then reacted with the test turkey serum. For detection of HEV antigen, MAb-coated plates were treated with appropriate dilutions of test antigens and then reacted with purified anti-HEV turkey immunoglobulins. The assay for HEV antibody detection was more sensitive and specific than previously described single-antibody ELISAs. Using the double-antibody ELISA, it was found that the spleen of HEV-infected turkeys harbors very high levels of antigen. Traces of HEV antigen are present in some other organs. Infectivity assay for HEV is found to be about two orders of magnitude more sensitive than the ELISA for detection of virus.

Serum alpha-fetoprotein values in dogs with various hepatic diseases.

Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) values were measured in hepatic diseased dogs with or without tumor and non-hepatic tumor bearing dogs by a sandwich ELISA using anti-dog AFP antiserum. Serum AFP values were less than 70 ng/ml in clinically healthy dogs. The values in dogs with hepatocellular carcinoma were higher than 1,400 ng/ml in 7 of 9 dogs, wherever those in two dogs with cholangiocarcinoma were in the normal range. Serum AFP values in hepatic diseased dogs without tumor were also high, however, the values were below 500 ng/ml in 90% of the dogs. In non-hepatic tumor dogs, serum AFP values were less than 500 ng/ml in 76% of the dogs. In the surgically removal cases with hepatocellular carcinoma, serum AFP values rapidly decreased. These results suggested that the sandwich ELISA using anti-dog AFP antiserum was an available method for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma in dogs.     

Enzyme Immunoassays for the Determination of Ovine LH and FSH

The development of competitive enzyme immunoassays for ovine plasma LH (oLH) and FSH (oFSH) is described. Standards and plasma samples were preincubated with diluted antiserum to oLH or oFSH and the reacted solution (100 μl per well) was transferred to plates previously coated with oLH or oFSH, respectively. The second antibody used was anti‐rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase. The measuring range was 0.39–50 ng/ml for each hormone and the 50% relative binding sensitivity was 9 ng/ml for oLH. The respective value for oFSH was 3.5 or 34 ng/ml with different hormone and antibody preparations used for the assay. The enzyme immunoassays were used to determine oLH and oFSH levels in plasma from ewes of two breeds during the oestrous cycle. The assays detected the first FSH surge coincident with the LH surge, the second FSH surge about 24 h later and the periodic fluctuations of FSH concentrations during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle. These enzyme immunoassays are an efficient and economic alternative to the established radioimmunoassays (RIA) for oLH and oFSH.

CEA test in domestic animals

In human cancer treatment, CEA (carcino embryonic antigen) testing is a routine procedure, even though the test is of low sensitivity (40%) and low specificity (70%). Since tests with polyclonal antibodies render no reproducible results with animal sera, the applicability of a recently available monoclonal CEA test designed for human sera was evaluated. We were able to show that the latter test was of supplemental diagnostic value when testing animal sera. The upper normal limit for dogs is 1.65 ng/ml, for cats 2.81 ng/ml, for cows 2.85 ng/ml, for sheep 2.85 ng/ml and for horses 1.61 ng/ml.     

Clinical, hormonal and ultrasonograph approaches to diagnosing cryptorchidism in horses

Cryptorchidism is a partial or total failure of testicular descent. For a proper diagnosis different methods are required. The main aim of this study was to compare different diagnostic methods. Sixty two horses (15 stallions, 32 cryptorchids and 15 geldings) were used in the experiment. They were clinically examined and ultrasonography was used to locate the testes. Blood samples were taken from the animals to measure the plasma level of testosterone and total estrogen (RIA method). In 22 horses suspected of cryptorchidism, the hCG stimulation test was performed. Blood samples were taken every 20 minutes for 8 hours and then 24 and 48 hours after injection. Clinical examination had a 60% success rate in detecting superficial and profound canal cryptorchids. Inguinal ultrasonography had a 100% rate of detection when the retained testes were in the area of the internal or external inguinal ring. The rate of detection with abdominal cryptorchids was 72.7%. The highest levels of testosterone were found in stallions' blood (2.3 ng/ml), they were lower in cryptorchids (0.68 ng/ml) and lowest in geldings (0.15 ng/ml). Total estrogen levels revealed a similar tendency (respectively: 395 pg/ml, 228 pg/ml and 26 pg/ml). Administration of hCG usually increased the level of testosterone from 0.68 ng/ml to 1.05 ng/ml 60 minutes after injection. We found that to successfully diagnose cryptorchids in veterinary practice a combination of clinical, ultrasonographic and hormonal examinations should be used.     

Detection of bovine respiratory syncytial virus using a heterologous antigen-capture enzyme immunoassay

Based on the marked antigenic similarities that exist between antigens of the human and bovine strains of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) designed to detect human RSV was used to detect bovine RSV. The commercial test kit (RSV EIA) consists of a solid phase (beads) coated with a capture antiserum prepared against the Long strain of human RSV. The RSV EIA test was compared with the method of inoculation of cell cultures and fluorescent antibody (FA) staining of lung tissue for the detection of bovine RSV. Using a cell culture-propagated stock of strain 375 of bovine RSV, the threshold of sensitivity of the EIA test for the cattle strain of RSV was determined to be less than or equal to 10(2.3) CCID50/ml. In addition, RSV EIA detected the bovine RSV in nasal samples obtained from 3 experimentally inoculated cattle. The RSV EIA exhibited a sensitivity of greater than or equal to 80% during the period that shedding of infectious virus took place. All of the bovine RSV FA-positive lung samples (n = 37) were positive by the RSV EIA. Twenty-six of the remaining 214 bovine RSV FA-negative lung samples were positive by the RSV EIA. The RSV EIA was also used to test 137 nasal swabs obtained from cases of bovine respiratory disease. Of these, 38 tested positive by RSV EIA. All samples that tested positive by EIA were confirmed by blocking assays using hyperimmune serum anti-bovine RSV and a pool of monoclonal antibodies specific for that virus.     

Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using monoclonal antibody for detection of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin

Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the quantitative estimation of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies as capturing and detecting antibodies, respectively. The dose-dependent relationship between absorbance at 405 nm and concentration of purified CPE was obtained over the range of 0.64-400 ng/ml. The sandwich ELISA was fond to detect crude CPE in culture and CPE in 10% fecal extracts. This method is convenient, rapid and sensitive for specific detection of CPE.
