An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the screening of brucellos
is in reindeer was developed. The assay, which utilizes s-LPS from Brucella
abortus as antigen and biotin-labelled rabbit antibody to reindeer immunog
lobulin as detecting antibody, has a high specificity and sensitivity as in
dicated in a validation with sera from reindeer cultured positive for Bruce
lla suis biovar 4 and sera from reindeer free of brucellosis.
