“…This could be explained on the basis that all those sera turned out to be MAT negative may not actually be negative as only 6 Leptospira serovars were used as antigens for antibody detection in MAT. However, the findings supported the prevailing view that the ELISA was more sensitive than MAT (Rana et al, 2012;Deneke et al, 2014).…”

“…Traditionally, immunoagglutination is only used in a qualitative test; however, together with the narrow beam technique, immunoagglutination offers a simple, generally applicable, and non-hazardous method for fast and bacterium-specific quantitative detection [33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46]. More importantly, the agglutination reaction is a one-step reaction method mediated by specific reactions between antibodies immobilized on microbeads and antigens in the sample, requiring no further washing steps prior to detection.…”

“…The main bottleneck involved in whole cell antigen based immunoassays for M. leachii is the preparation of whole cell antigen of M. leachii which is time-consuming and cumbersome. The advent of recombinant DNA technology made possible the generation of large quantities of purified recombinant proteins in heterologous hosts such as E. cloni for specific diagnosis of infectious diseases [ 28 ]. Moreover, recombinant protein based serological tests show high sensitivity and specificity, owing to high concentration of immunoreactive antigens and the lack of non-specific moieties present in whole cell preparations [ 29 ].…”
