Pulmonary Disease due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a Horse: Zoonotic Concerns and Limitations of Antemortem Testing

Figure 2

IgG (a) and IgM (b) antibody responses of the horse infected with M. tuberculosis. MAPIA was performed as described in the Materials and Methods Section. Strip images represent individual results obtained with serum samples from the infected horse (no. 1), and 18 presumed non-infected horses from the same farm (nos. 2–19). Arrows point at the bands indicating antibody reactivity found in the infected horse. Printed antigens are shown on the right. Figures in italic above the strips indicate MAPIA densitometry values (in arbitrary units) obtained for respective serum samples.
