Two major species, \n \n Brucella melitensis<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> and \n \n Brucella abortus<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>, cause recurrent facile infection in human. Therefore, rapid and accurate diagnosis for early disease control and prevention is needed in areas with low disease burden.<\/jats:p>\n \n Hypothesis.<\/jats:bold> This study evaluated the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (S-ELISA) immunoassay for potential use of whole-cell (WC) and recombinant outer-membrane protein (rOmp28)-derived IgG polyclonals in sensitive detection of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n \n Aim.<\/jats:bold> Immunoassay-based WC detection of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> species in important sub-clinical matrices at lower limits of detection.<\/jats:p>\n \n Methodology.<\/jats:bold> We purified recombinant rOmp28 with Ni\u2013NTA gel affinity chromatography and produced IgG polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) using BALB\/c mice and New Zealand white female rabbits against different antigens (Ags) of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>. Checkerboard sandwich ELISA and P\/N ratio (optical density of \u2018P\u2019 positive test sample to \u2018N\u2019 negative control) were used for evaluation and optimization of the study. The pAbs were characterized using Western blot analysis and different matrices were spiked with WC Ag of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n \n Results.<\/jats:bold> Double-antibody S-ELISA was developed using WC Ag-derived rabbit IgG (capture antibody at 10 \u00b5g ml\u22121<\/jats:sup>) and rOmp28-derived mice IgG (detection antibody at 100 \u00b5g ml\u22121<\/jats:sup>) with a detection range of 102<\/jats:sup> to 108<\/jats:sup> cells ml\u22121<\/jats:sup> and a limit of detection at 102<\/jats:sup> cells ml\u22121<\/jats:sup>. A P\/N ratio of 1.1 was obtained with WC pAbs as compared to 0.6 and 0.9 ratios with rOmp28-derived pAbs for detecting \n \n B. melitensis<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> 16M and \n \n B. abortus<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> S99, respectively. An increased P\/N ratio of 4.4 was obtained with WC Ag-derived rabbit IgG as compared to 4.2>4.1>2.4 ratios obtained with rabbit IgGs derived against cell envelope (CE), rOmp28 and sonicated antigen (SA) of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> with high affinity for rOmp28 Ag analysed on immunoblots. The rOmp28-derived mice IgG revealed two \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> species at P\/N ratios of 11.8 and 6.3, respectively. Upon validation, S-ELISA detected \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> WCs in human whole blood and sera samples with no cross-reactivity to other related bacteria.<\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> The developed S-ELISA is specific and sensitive in early detection of \n \n Brucella<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:named-content>\n <\/jats:italic> from different matrices of clinical and non-clinical disease
