Abstract
Objective of the study was to prepare hyperimmune sera to Brucella S- and L-form thermo-extracts. Materials and methods. Thermo-extracts from Brucella abortus I-206 strain in S- and L-forms were used. Chinchilla rabbits were used as animals, sera producers. Specific activity was determined by test-tube agglutination with Brucella L-form corpuscular experimental and commercial Brucella colored diagnosticums, while specificity – with heterologous strains: Francisella tularensis 15 NIIEG, Vibrio choleraе 5 (Ogawa), V. choleraе 35 А3 (Inaba), Yersinia enterocolitica О:9, Y. pestis EV NIIEG, Escherichia coli 3912/41. Protein content in the obtained extract was defined using Lowry method. Results and conclusions. Consequently, the antigen activity of the generated thermo-extracts has been shown, the immunization schemes have been developed permitting to obtain highly active and specific sera that could be used for identification and differentiation of brucellosis causative agent.
