Paratuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), is a chronic enteritis in ruminants. Among molecular components of MAP, protein P34 was identified as specific and immunodominant. Here, we describe the production of polyclonal antibodies with defined specificity for P34. Polyclonal antibodies were generated from New Zealand white rabbit. Animals were immunized at a certain time period with purified P34, MAP antigens and Freund’s adjuvant. Antibodies were purified from serum by ion exchange chromatography. Western blotting analysis was used for evaluation of interaction between 34 kDa protein and antibodies. Key words: 34 kDa antigen, Paratuberculosis, Polyclonal antibodies. |
