We have used a surface plasmon resonance biosensor (BIACORE 3000) to detect serum antibodies in chickens having current or recent infections. Three well-defined Salmonella flagellar recombinant DNA antigens reflecting Salmonella enteritidis (H:g,m flagellin) and Salmonella typhimurium (H:i and H:1,2 flagellins) expressed in Escherichia coli were each immobilized in a single flow cell of a biosensor chip. Glutathione-S-transferase was immobilized on the surface of another flow cell to monitor non-specific binding. Sera collected from chickens with no history of Salmonella infection, and from chickens infected with Salmonella serotypes infantis, pullorum, gallinarum were used to test the performance of the system. The sensitivity exhibited to a range up to 900 arbitrary response units (RU) for the most positive S. typhimurium serum at a dilution of 1/40. Sera from Salmonella infantis, Salmonella pullorum and Salmonella gallinarum infected birds gave responses less than the cut-off point, which was determined as the averaged response of sera from specific pathogen-free chickens plus three times the standard deviation. A positive response was obtained when these sera and whole blood were fortified with S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium positive serum. The sensitivity, specificity, precision and reproducibility obtained suggested that this approach could be used for detecting past or present infection with a range of pathogens in animals. |
