Abstract

A procedure for extraction and purification of 8 kDa antigen of Brucella abortus RB51 was developed. Bacteria heat inactivated at $60^{\circ}C$, 30 min was extracted by 1% sarcosine and followed by fluid pressure liquid gel filtration chromatography of 2 series, Superose 12 HR 10/30 and Sephacryl S-100. There was produced $71.46{\mu}g/g$(wet) of 8 kDa antigen, and it resisted 1% trypsin, solved 1% triton X-100 higher than distilled water and inactivated 0.1% proteinase K. These results show that 8 kDa antigen may be a lipoprotein existed cell surface of B. abortus RB51. Also, we developed ELISA using purified 8 kDa surface antigen of Brucella abortus RB51 strain, its specificity and sensitivity was 95.0%, 98.6%, respectively. As compared with dot-blot assay using whole cell and ELISA using 8 kDa antigen, its correlation was 93.5%.
