Coombs antiglobulin test using Brucella abortus 99 as antigen to detect incomplete antibodies induced by B abortus RB51 vaccine in cattle

Clin Diagn Lab Immunol. 2002 Nov;9(6):1398-9. doi: 10.1128/cdli.9.6.1398-1399.2002.

Abstract

This study showed that vaccination of cattle with Brucella abortus rough strain RB51 induces incomplete antibodies that can be detectable by a Coombs antiglobulin test using the B. abortus 99 smooth strain.
