LABORATORY TEST FOR ASSAYING INCOMPLETE ANTIBODIES IN BRUCELLOSIS AND EQUIPMENT FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH TEST

摘要

The invention relates to a laboratory test for assaying incomplete antibodies in brucellosis and the equipment used to carry out such test. The laboratory test is characterized in that in a series of ELISA wells a pH5 buffer is added; each of the sera is added to the first well; then a double dilution is carried out to pass liquid from each well to the next; finally, a certain quantity of the stabilized bacterial suspension is added in each well. A stove incubation is carried out during 24 hours at 37 DEG C in humid chamber and darkness conditions. The result can then be read by using an agglutination plate reader. The equipment necessary to implement such test is also disclosed. The test of the invention is used to assay incomplete antibodies in brucellosis and is both applicable to persons and animals.
