ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an assay for detection ofM. bovis-infected animals. A tracer, comprising a peptide ofM. bovisprotein MPB70 conjugated to a fluorophore, is added to a serum sample from an animal to form a mixture. The fluorescence polarization of the mixture in then measured and compared to the fluorescence polarization of a control. The present invention further provides a tracer for use in fluorescence polarization assay to detect antibodies specific forM. bovis.The tracer comprises a peptide ofM. bovisprotein MPB70 conjugated to a fluorophore, such that the tracer is able to bind to antibodies specific forM. bovisto produce a detectable change in fluorescence polarization.
