Establishment of indirect ELISA for bovine mastitis Streptococcus agalactiae based on rSip-PGK-FbsA fusion protein
Streptococcus agalactiae is the one of the important caused agent for mastitis in cow.To establish a rapid and sensitive assay for detection of the antibody against S.agalactiae,a indirect ELISA was developed with prokaryotic expressed three proteins (rSip-PGK-FbsA) of S.agalactiae as the coating antigen.The reacted condition was optimized,including 2 μg/mL of coating rSip-PGK-FbsA,the 1∶160 dilution of the serum to be detected,and detecting with 1∶6,000 dilution of IgG-HRP.The results of specificity,sensitivity and repeatability tests showed that the assay had no reactions with the positive serum of S.pyogenes,E.coli,S.aureus and S.epidermidis.The positive coincidence rate of this method was 98.6%,higher than that ELISA method coating with the SIP and PGK protein.This method had high sensitivity.The detection rate was 46.53% of 389 clinical samples.This indirect ELISA method is a more accurate and reliable serological method for the rapid detection of antibody against S.agalactiae.
