Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the measurement of immunoglobulin G concentrations in porcine plasma and colostrum.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is described for the estimation of porcine immunoglobulin G in either colostrum or plasma samples. The inter-assay coefficient of variation was 9.1 per cent and the intraassay coefficient of variation was 7.2 per cent. The repeatability or intra-class correlation coefficient of the assay was 0.9. The assay proved to be a sensitive, inexpensive and rapid method for assessing the immune status of pigs.
