ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a diagnostic assay utilizing the lipid associated membrane proteins of mycoplasmas to detect the presence of species-specific mycoplasma antibodies. The sensitive assay is useful for the detection and differentiation of mycoplasma antibodies specific for individual species in biological samples from humans and animals, and exhibits virtually no cross-reactivity between different mycoplasma species.
