Anigen Rapid Bovine TB Ab Test Kit

Anigen Rapid Bovine TB Ab Test Kit is a solid phase chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Mycobacterium bovis antibody in serum or plasma.

Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis infection in cattle is usually diagnosed in the live animal on the basis of delayed hypersensitivity reactions. Infection is often sub clinical. When present, clinical signs are not specifically distinctive of this disease. Generally the purified protein derivative (PPD) test has been known 65.6% sensitivity (Wood et al., Vet. Microbiol, 40:125-135. 1994) as non M. bovis, including M. avium and other acid-fast bacteria infect the cattle in nature. A more sensitive and accurate diagnostic tool has been required. Recently, the MPB 70 protein was revealed to be a highly species specific protein secreted by Mycobaterium bovis, resulting in the development of the Anigen Rapid Bovine TB Ab test kit.ow available.
