Modified Toxin-binding Inhibition (tobi) Test for Quantification of Epsilon Antitoxin in Serum from Immunized Sheep
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study evaluated the use of the ToBI test as a substitute for the in vivo technique of the mouse serum neutralization test to manage quality control of vaccines against clostridiosis. Serum samples with known concentrations of anti-epsilon antibodies were obtained from 3 sheep immunized with vaccine against C. perfringens type D epsilon toxoid. The main results obtained indicate correlation coefficients above 97%, corroborating literature data. The inter and intraplate coefficients of variation were low (less than 1.3%). In conclusion, the in vitro ToBI test is suitable to evaluate the potency of clostridial vaccines. However, the ToBI test must be first validated before it can replace the in vivo serum neutralization methodology used in mice.

Background: One of the major uses of large number of laboratory animals in manufacturing the vaccines is the quality control testing of vaccines, particularly potency testing of vaccines containing the tetanus toxoids by either lethal challenge or serum neutralization tests. Recently, because of various difficulties to obtain quality laboratory animals and in adequate environmental conditions, ...
متن کاملDetermination of low tetanus or diphtheria antitoxin titers in sera by a toxin neutralization assay and a modified toxin-binding inhibition test.
A method for the screening of tetanus and diphtheria antibodies in serum using anatoxin (inactivated toxin) instead of toxin was developed as an alternative to the in vivo toxin neutralization assay based on the toxin-binding inhibition test (TOBI test). In this study, the serum titers (values between 1.0 and 19.5 IU) measured by a modified TOBI test (Modi-TOBI test) and toxin neutralization as...
متن کاملImmunogenicity test of tetanus component in adsorbed vaccines by toxin binding inhibition test.
Samples from 20 lots of diphtheria-tetanus (adult use dT) vaccine and from 20 lots of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine were used to standardize and validate the in vitro toxin binding inhibition (ToBI) test for the immunogenicity test of the tetanus component. The levels of tetanus antitoxin obtained by ToBI test were compared to those obtained using the toxin neutralization (TN) test...
متن کاملMolecular typing of toxigenic Clostridum perfringens isolated from sheep in Iran
In this research a molecular method based on polymerase chain reaction for typing of Clostridium perfringens was developed and toxin genotypes of 64 isolates from sheep and goats in Iran were determined. The PCR assays were developed for detection of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb) and epsilon (etx) toxin genes, allowing classification of the isolates into genotypes A B, C and D. The field isolates ...
