Preparation of Agglutinating Antisera and Fluorescent-Antibody Conjugates Against Pasteurella tularensis in Equines

Microbiological Reagents Unit, Biological Reagents Section, National Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Georgia 30333

ABSTRACT

The serological response in burros and horses to the viable LVS strain of Pasteurella tularensis was studied. High-titered agglutinating antisera and fluorescent-antibody conjugates were obtained in both groups of animals. Maximum titers were obtained in horses 14 to 21 days after the start of vaccination and in burros 21 to 28 days after the start of vaccination. The use of Woodhour's adjuvants or booster inoculations did not result in increased titers.
