Английский. Three soluble antigens were compared by radial immunodiffusion (RID) and agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) tests: a native haptene (NH) from Brucella melitensis 16M, and a polysaccharide (PS) from B. abortus 1119-3, both obtained by non-hydrolytic methods, and the (O-Chain) polysaccharide extracted also from B. abortus 1119-3 but using an hydrolytic method. Three groups of bovine sera were tested: a) Naturally infected (n = 76); b) Non-infected (n = 130) and c) S-19 vaccinated (n = 61); the sensitivity (Se), the specificity (Sp) and the ability to differentiate vaccinated (ADV) were determined in each group a, b and c respectively. The highest Se in the RID test (84.3%) was achieved by NH; while the three antigens gave 100% Sp. The O-Chain showed 100% ADV in this test. In the AGID test PS antigen showed the best Se (86.6%), and all antigens showed 100% of Sp and ADV. Finally, for its production qualities and efficiency the antigens PS and NH represent a promising alternative for complementary diagnosis of brucellosis.

Foram comparados três antígenos solúveis: um hapteno nativo (NH) de B. melitensis 16M, um polissacarídeo (PS) obtido de B. abortus 1119-3 e outro polissacarídeo de cadeia O (O-Chain) originado também da última Brucella. Os testes de imunodifusão radial (RID) e imunodifusão em gel de ágar (AGID) foram confrontados com as três classes de soros bovinos: a) infectados naturalmente (n = 76), b) não infectados (n = 130) e c) vacinados com B19 (n = 61) reagindo a testes sorológicos clássicos. Foram determinadas a sensibilidade (Se), a especificidade (Sp) e a capacidade para discriminar vacinados (ADV). A Se mais alta (84,3%) no teste RID foi demonstrada pelo antígeno NH, enquanto os três antígenos tiveram 100% de Sp. O antígeno O-Chain teve 100% de ADV nesse teste. O teste AGID com estes antígenos demonstrou 100% Sp e ADV, enquanto o antígeno PS mostrou uma melhor Se (86,6%). Finalmente, por sua qualidade de produção e eficiência, os antígenos PS e NH representam uma alternativa segura e econômica para o diagnóstico suplementar da brucelose.
