Evaluation of a polyvalent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay incorporating a recombinant p44 antigen for diagnosis of granulocytic ehrlichiosis in dogs and horses

OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a polyvalent ELISA incorporating a highly specific recombinant antigen (p44) for diagnosis of granulocytic ehrlichiosis in dogs and horses. ANIMALS: 32 dogs and 43 horses. PROCEDURE: Results of the ELISA were compared with results of indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) staining and western immunoblotting incorporating whole-cell antigen. RESULTS: For the canine and equine samples, percentages of samples with positive IFA staining, western immunoblotting, and ELISA results were similar. For 29 (91 %) canine samples and 30 (70%) equine samples, results of IFA staining, western immunoblotting, and the ELISA were in complete agreement. Results of the ELISA for 3 canine serum samples known to contain antibodies to Ehrlichia canis and 12 equine serum samples known to contain antibodies to E risticii were negative. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results of the present study suggest that a polyvalent ELISA incorporating a recombinant p44 antigen is suitable for detecting antibodies to E equi in dogs and horses.     

Comparison of a clinic-based ELISA test kit with the immunofluorescence test for the assay of Ehrlichia canis antibodies in dogs.

The "gold standard" for the detection of antibodies to Ehrlichia canis, the cause of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), is the indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) test. The IFA test however is generally available only in selected laboratories and requires extensive equipment and trained personnel. A double-blind study was conducted to compare the ability of an in-clinic standardized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test kit to measure E. canis IgG antibodies in dogs compared with the standard IFA technique. A good correlation was found between the 2 techniques (r2 = 0.8793; P < 0.0001). Evidence for the sensitivity of the ELISA technique for the early detection of E. canis IgG antibodies was demonstrated by comparing the appearance of E. canis antibody titers by the IFA and ELISA techniques after artificial infection of 2 sets of dogs. In both experimental infections, both tests were equally sensitive for the early detection of IgG antibodies against E. canis, and the results correlated well with the appearance of fever and clinical signs. Proposed application of the in-clinic ELISA test is to aid in the diagnosis of CME.     

Comparison of an indirect immunofluorescence assay, western blot analysis, and a commercially available ELISA for detection of Ehrlichia canis antibodies in canine sera

OBJECTIVE: To examine the correlation between results for an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) that uses Ehrlichia canis antigen as a substrate (ie, E canis-IFA), 2 western blot (WB) analyses, and a commercially available ELISA in the detection of E canis antibody in dog sera. SAMPLE POPULATION: 54 canine serum samples that were reactive on E canis-IFA and 16 canine serum samples that were E canis-IFA nonreactive. PROCEDURE: Serum samples were evaluated by use of 2 WB analyses and a commercially available ELISA. Correlation between results of the 3 testing modalities (ie, IFA, WB analyses, and the ELISA) was examined by use of nonreactive (E canis-IFA reciprocal titer, < 20), low-titer (reciprocal titer, 80 to 160), medium-titer (reciprocal titer, 320 to 2,560), and high-titer (reciprocal titer, 5,120 to > 20,480) serum samples. RESULTS: For all serum samples in the nonreactive (n = 16), medium-titer (17), and high-titer (18) groups, correlation of results among IFA, WB analyses, and the commercially available ELISA was excellent. A poor correlation was found between IFA results and those of WB analyses and the ELISA for serum samples in the low-titer group (19), with only 4 of the 19 serum samples having positive results on both WB analyses and the commercially available ELISA. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The discrepancy between E canis-IFA, WB analyses, and the commercially available ELISA results for the low-titer serum samples may be related to a high IFA sensitivity or, more likely, a lack of specificity associated with cross-reactivity among Ehrlichia spp.     

Comparison of results for serologic testing and a polymerase chain reaction assay to determine the prevalence of stray dogs in eastern Tennessee seropositive to Ehrlichia canis

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of stray dogs in eastern Tennessee seropositive to Ehrlichia canis and examine the correlation between results for an ELISA, indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. SAMPLE POPULATION: Blood samples obtained from 90 adult dogs admitted to an animal shelter in eastern Tennessee. PROCEDURE: Serum samples were analyzed for antibodies against E. canis by use of a commercially available ELISA kit, 2 IFA tests, and a PCR assay; testing was performed at the University of Tennessee (TN) and North Carolina State University (NCSU). The PCR amplification was performed by use of DNA extracted from EDTA-anticoagulated blood and primers designed to amplify DNA of Ehrlichia spp. RESULTS: Antibodies against E. canis were detected in only 1 dog by use of the ELISA. By IFA testing at TN, 10 of 90 (11%) dogs were seroreactive against E. canis antigens, all of which had medium to high titers to E. canis. Only 5 of the 10 TN seroreactors were also reactive against E. canis antigens in IFA tests conducted at NCSU, and all 5 had low to medium titers. The DNA of Ehrlichia spp was not amplified in any blood samples by use of PCR assays conducted at the TN or NCSU. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The discordant ELISA, IFA, and PCR results obtained in this study were unexpected and may have been related to exposure of dogs to an Ehrlichia species other than E. canis, such as E. ewingii.

Concurrent babesiosis and ehrlichiosis in the dog: blood smear examination supplemented by the indirect fluorescent antibody test, using Cowdria ruminantium as antigen

Giemsa-stained, peripheral blood smears of 67 dogs, showing clinical signs typical of babesiosis or reminiscent of concurrent babesiosis and ehrlichiosis, were examined for the presence of Babesia canis and Ehrlichia canis. Since Cowdria ruminantium cross-reacts with Ehrlichia, the sera of these dogs were also subjected to the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test in which C. ruminantium was used as antigen. Fifty-five per cent of these dogs had mixed infections of B. canis and E. canis, as judged by blood smear examination and serology. The serum of 32% of these dogs with mixed infections reacted positively in the IFA test. Six out of 9 dogs, the blood smears of which were negative for both B. canis and E. canis, were serologically positive for E. canis. Furthermore, sero-conversion from a negative in the initial serum sample to titres of up to 1:160 in a subsequent sample was recorded in 9 out of 13 dogs with suspected mixed infection on blood smear.     

Evaluation of feline leukemia virus diagnostic tests available for in-office use by veterinarians.

Blood samples from cats were tested for FeLV group-specific antigen by use of an indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test, ELISA, or both. Several ELISA kits were evaluated as they would be used in a veterinary clinic, and some ELISA kits were compared with an IFA test for agreement of results. Good agreement of results was evident among the commercially available ELISA kits; results for most blood samples were clearly negative or decidely positive. Occasionally, test results were equivocal and retesting was necessary to obtain clear interpretation. Negative results are highly reliable, which makes ELISA valuable screening tests for FeLV in healthy cats. Results of tests on blood from healthy cats in Alabama indicated positivity rate of 4.0% in 1978 with an IFA test and 4.8% with ELISA in 1988 through 1989. Infection rate in sick cats ranged from 11.6 to 35.8%. The frequency of positive test results for FeLV in cats tested at Auburn University decreased from a 5-year average of 27.7% during 1980 through 1984 to a 5-year average of 14.9% during 1986 through 1990; the rate in 1990 was 11.6%.     

Development and comparison of serologic methods for diagnosing chicken anemia virus infection.

This paper describes the development of an indirect immunoperoxidase assay (IIP) and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting antibodies to chicken anemia virus (VAC). The IIP assay developed used CAV-infected MDCC-MSB1 cells for detecting antibody to CAV, whereas the ELISA utilized gradient-purified immunoadsorbed CAV as the target antigen. The IIP and ELISA were compared with the standard indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) assay, which is more conventionally used to screen chicken serum for antibodies against CAV. Comparative test results of 185 field samples of chicken serum by these three methods were in agreement 84% of the time. Both IFA and IIP assays yielded fewer positive tests than did the ELISA. IFA and IIP assays were in agreement 93% of the time, as compared with 91% agreement of IIP and ELISA results, or 84% agreement for comparative IFA and ELISA results.

A serosurvey of Hepatozoon canis and Ehrlichia canis antibodies in wild red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Israel

A seroepidemiological survey was conducted to investigate the prevalence of antibodies reactive with Ehrlichia canis and Hepatozoon canis antigens in free-ranging red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Israel. Of 84 fox sera assayed, 36% were seropositive for E. canis by the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test and 24% were positive for H. canis using an enzyme-linked immunosrbent assay (ELISA). Canine ehrlichiosis and hepatozoonosis appear to be endemic in the wild red fox populations in Israel, and foxes may serve as a reservoir for infection of domestic dogs and other wild canine species.     

Comparison of three enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays with the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test for the diagnosis of canine infection with Ehrlichia canis

The aim of this study was to compare three different enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays (recombinant major antigenic protein 2 (rMAP2)-ELISA, the Immunocomb (Biogal, Israel) and the Snap 3Dx assay (IDEXX Laboratories Inc., USA)) with the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test in detecting anti-Ehrlichia canis immunoglobulin-G (IgG) antibodies. Samples tested were collected from dogs suspected to be naturally infected with E. canis and from experimentally infected dogs.When qualitative results (positive/negative) were compared, there was an overall agreement of 81% (54/67) between the indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) test and the rMAP2-ELISA. An overall agreement of 94% (63/67) was found between the IFA test and the Immunocomb, and an overall agreement of 91% (61/67) was found between the IFA test and the Snap 3Dx assay. In 50 of 67 (74.6%) samples tested, complete agreement in the qualitative results was found in all four tests. Sixteen of 17 samples with disagreement in the qualitative results were found to have IFA titers of 1:320 or less. The sensitivities and specificities of the tests were found to be 0.71 and 0.85 for the rMAP2-ELISA, 0.86 and 0.98 for the Immunocomb, and 0.71 and 1.00 for the Snap 3Dx assay.The tests performed in this study were found to be highly specific in detecting E. canis antibodies. Their sensitivity was found to be low with sera having IFA titers of < or =1:320, while high with sera having titers greater than 1:320. Repeating the serological tests 1-2 weeks after the first antibody assay may overcome the sensitivity problem with titers of < or =1:320.

Establishment and Preliminary Application of Indirect ELISA Based on Recombinant NS4 Protein for Detection of Bluetongue Virus Antibodies

This study was conducted to establish an indirect ELISA method for the detection serological antibody of bluetongue virus (BTV). The purified BTV recombinant NS4 protein obtained from the prokaryotic express system was used as the coated antigen, and then an indirect ELISA antibody detection method of BTV was developed by optimizing the reaction conditions. SDS-PAGE results showed that the recombinant NS4 protein with a size of about 52 kDa was obtained, which mainly existed in the supernatant. Western blot results showed that the purified recombinant NS4 protein had good antigenicity. The ELISA reaction conditions were optimized by the square matrix test. The optimal coating amount of recombinant NS4 protein antigen was determined to be 3.0 μg per well, and the optimal dilution ratio of serum to be tested was 1:200, and the optimal dilution concentration of HRP-labeled rabbit anti-cow IgG secondary antibody was 1:4 000, and the critical values were 0.29 and 0.35, respectively. The detection sensitivity of the BTV antibody was up to 1:1 600. The intra-assay repeatability and the inter-assay repeatability coefficient of variation were less than 10%. The positive coincidence ratio and negative coincidence ratio were 98% and 100% respectively. The indirect ELISA method established in this study laid a foundation for clinical serum antibody detection and serum epidemiological investigation of BTV.
