ألمانية. The efficiency of chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) in detecting Salmonella antibodies in the meat juice of slaughter swine was compared with the indirect ELISA (BgVV method). Based on the screening test results of 987 meat juice samples obtained from different laboratories in Germany, a good level of agreement between the two systems was obtained with a kappa value of 0.824 at 20% cut-off and 0.798 at 40% cut-off. At 20% and 40% cut-off levels, a sensitivity of 96.2% and 97.3%, respectively, and a specificity of 94.6% and 95.1%, respectively, were demonstrated between CLIA and ELISA. The detecting LPS antigen was tested for specificity and a cross-reaction with two E. coli and Yersinia strains was found when tested with ELISA. This reaction was not observed in CLIA, possibly because of the broader measurement spectrum of this test which allows a more distinctive definition of immunologic reactions. The same explanation can be given for the increased number of meat juice samples which were positively detected only in ELISA but not in CLIA. The positively classified samples in screening were further tested for reciprocal titers in both test systems, and a higher correlation between screening and titration results was obtained for CLIA. Towards the end of the study, a preliminary comparison of CLIA with two available commercial ELISA test kits was conducted and the same tendency was observed, namely, wider detection range of CLIA compared to the other tests. Based on the results of this study, CLIA can be used as a reference method in detecting Salmonella antibodies in the meat juice of slaughter pigs
