This kit includes the following components:
– brucellosis antigen for the MRT. It is a suspended matter of heat-inactivated and phenol-inactivated brucellas of species abortus in 0.85% solution of sodium chloride with 0.5% phenol, haematoxylin-stained in blue or tetrazolium-stained in cherry-red;
– dry brucellosis serum is a blood serum of bulls (oxen) hyperimmunized by a live culture of brucellas of species abortus.
Assay Principle: The S-brucellosis antigen for the milk ring test is agglutinated by homologous antibodies of milk of cows that are diseased with brucellosis or immunized with brucellosis agglutinogenic vaccines resulting in phenomenon of adsorption of the antigen-antibody complex by milk fat globules and formation of the coloured ring in the cream layer. The brucellosis serum contains specific agglutinins. It is used as a positive control for the milk ring test.
