Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (Elisa) for Detection of Antibodies to Mycobacterium Para-Tuberculosis in Cattle
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 19, pages 310–312 (1978)
Abstract
Paratuberculosis may be diagnosed by clinical, bacteriological and immunological methods, but so far only the demonstration of M. paratuberculosis is considered a definite proof of the infection. World-wide use is being made of the complement fixation (CF) test as a valuable immunological test for diagnosis of clinical cases, but its low specificity and sensitivity makes its value problematic in non-clinical cases.
