Neospora caninum in dogs: detection of antibodies by ELISA using an iscom antigen.

Abstract:

:An indirect enzyme linked immunsorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of antibodies to Neospora caninum in serum from dogs is described. Extracted tachyzoite proteins incorporated into immunostimulating complexes (iscoms) were used as coating antigen. A mixture of a monoclonal antibody to dog immunoglobulin G and a horse radish peroxidase conjugated antibody to mouse Ig was used to detect bound antibody. When the iscom preparation was analysed by means of sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it appeared to consist of a restricted number of proteins compared with whole parasite homogenates. In immunoblot analysis, using N. caninum positive sera from rabbits and dogs as probes, the major antigens recognized had approximate molecular weights between 30 and 45 and 17 to 19 kDa. Compared with an ELISA using a crude solubilized tachyzoite antigen, the iscom ELISA substantially improved the sensitivity and specificity (to 97.6% and 95.6%, respectively, against an immunofluorescence test, IFAT, as indicator of true status). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between IFAT titres and iscom ELISA OD450 values. The iscom ELISA absorbances (and the IFAT titres) of dogs with proven clinical infections were not higher than those from nonclinically affected, putatively infected dogs.
