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