Abstract

Rough lipopolysaccharide, extracted by a mixture of phenol, chloroform, and petroleum ether from freeze-dried Brucella ovis cells with a yield of 0.71%, contained relatively small amounts of protein and nucleic acid contaminants as compared with lipopolysaccharides from other Brucellae. The crude lipopolysaccharide was suitable as a diagnostic antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the sensitive and specific detection of ram epididymitis caused by B. ovis infection. In comparative serological tests, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with B. ovis lipopolysaccharide gave better identification of infections and fewer false-negative results than the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with sonicated antigen or the complement fixation test.
