Chapter 18, Problem 4MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Brucella is a gram negative bacterium which causes Brucellosis; it is present in milk.
Brucella ELISA is technique which is used to detect the antigen, and IgG and IgM antibodies present in the Brucellosis patient serum sample. Direct ELISA test refers to the identification of the antigen. But, Indirect ELISA test refers to the identification of the antibody present in the serum sample of Brucellosis patients. Here, Brucella is the antigen.
