Abstract

ELISA appears to be a less reliable method than counterimmunoelectrophoresis for the diagnosis of nasal aspergillosis in the dog. False-positive or false-negative results were recorded for anti-A. fumigatus IgG in nine animals with aspergillosis and in 27 disease-free dogs although this problem could be reduced with careful selection of antigen.

Zusammenfassung

Für die Diagnose von nasaler Aspergillose des Hundes scheint Elisa eine weniger zuverlässige Methode zu sein als Counterimmunoelektrophorese. Mit einem Anti-A. fumigatus IgG wurden falsch positive oder falsch negative Resultate bei 9 Tieren mit Aspergillose und bei 27 gesunden Hunden beobachtet. Diese Schwierigkeit konnte vermindert werden durch eine sorgfältige Auswahl des Antigens.
