[Recombinant non-structural 3A, 3B and 3AB proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus: use for differentiation of vaccinated and infected cattle].

: Recombinant proteins 3A, 3B and 3AB were obtained by expression in Escherichia coli and purified by metal-chelate chromatography. The proteins were used as antigens in indirect ELISA to differentiate vaccinated and infected cattle. While testing 200 sera from cattle 3A-ELISA was more sensitive and specific than 3B- and 3AB-ELISA. Compared with "Chekit FMD-3ABC", 3A-ELISA showed the same level of specificity and higher level of sensitivity.
