Abstract
Summary
The use of the CCAT as a diagnostic procedure for bovine brucellosis is presented. This brucella system fixes the nonhemolytic complements of pig, cat and horse to varying degrees; horse complement gives the best results. In addition, bovine sera are less anticomplementary to horse than to guinea pig complement. Finally brucella antibody can occasionally be detected by the CCAT in bovine sera which are negative with the rapid plate agglutination test and the hemolytic complement fixation test.
