The present study was carried out to determine, by immunohistochemistry, the presence of B. melitensis antigens in 110 naturally occurring aborted sheep fetuses. Sections of lung, liver, kidney, and spleen of each fetus were stained with immunoperoxidase to detect Brucella antigens. Brucella melitensis antigens were detected in 33 of 110 fetuses (30%). In the 33 positive cases, Brucella antigens were found in lung (25 [22.7%]), liver (21 [19%]), spleen (13 [11.8%]), and kidney (6 [5.4%]). Microscopic studies demonstrated that Brucella antigens were mainly located in the cytoplasm of macrophages and neutrophils of the lung, and in the cytoplasm of macrophages in the portal infiltrates and Kupffer cells of the liver. It was concluded that immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues is a useful tool for the diagnosis of spontaneous ovine abortion caused by B. melitensis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/104063870802000616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,12]],"date-time":"2011-05-12T16:26:52Z","timestamp":1305217612000},"page":"803-806","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Immunohistochemical Detection of\n                    <i>Brucella Melitensis<\/i>\n                    Antigens in Cases of Naturally Occurring Abortions in Sheep"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Fatma","family":"Ilhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zabit","family":"Yener","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-104063870802000616","first-page":"577","volume-title":"Clin Lab","volume":"49","author":"Al Dahouk S","year":"2003"},{"key":"bibr2-104063870802000616","volume-title":"Techniques for the brucellosis laboratory.","author":"Alton GG","year":"1988"},{"key":"bibr3-104063870802000616","first-page":"195","volume-title":"Vet J Ankara Univ","volume":"34","author":"Arda M","year":"1987"},{"key":"bibr4-104063870802000616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0264-410X(02)00159-7"},{"key":"bibr5-104063870802000616","first-page":"927","volume-title":"Vet Bull","volume":"55","author":"Corbel MJ","year":"1985"},{"key":"bibr6-104063870802000616","first-page":"17","volume-title":"Veterinarium","volume":"1","author":"Kenar B","year":"1990"},{"key":"bibr7-104063870802000616","first-page":"109","volume-title":"J Etlik Vet Microbiol","volume":"9","author":"Kiran MM","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr8-104063870802000616","first-page":"275","volume-title":"Can J Comp Med","volume":"48","author":"Lopez A","year":"1984"},{"key":"bibr9-104063870802000616","first-page":"2147","volume-title":"Am J Vet Res","volume":"47","author":"Meador VP","year":"1986"},{"key":"bibr10-104063870802000616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030098589603300607"},{"key":"bibr11-104063870802000616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104063879801000104"},{"key":"bibr12-104063870802000616","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2754\/avb200473040465"},{"key":"bibr13-104063870802000616","first-page":"291","volume-title":"Vet J Ankara Univ","volume":"44","author":"Yazicioglu O","year":"1997"}],"container-title":["Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/104063870802000616","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/104063870802000616","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/104063870802000616","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T00:12:52Z","timestamp":1777680772000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/104063870802000616"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/104063870802000616"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/104063870802000616","relation":{},"ISSN":["1040-6387","1943-4936"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1040-6387","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-4936","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,11]]}}}
