Comparison of IMS-PCR and Direct PCR results for 280 lymph node samples –74 non-visibly lesioned (NVL) and 206 visibly lesioned (VL).
a<p>Determined by McNemar's Chi-Square test using Genstat version 14.2.</p>b<p>Includes 166 VL and 74 NVL samples from TB skin test reactor animals plus 40 VL samples from non-reactor animals detected at routine slaughter.</p><p>Data represent number of samples with each combination of test results.</p
Distribution of <i>M. bovis</i> spoligotypes isolated by culture and IMS-MGIT culture.
<p>Spoligotypes 269 (140*), 142* and 263* are thought to be spoligotypes 140, 142 and 263 with spacer 15 signal absent which have arisen due to lesser amounts of <i>M. bovis</i> DNA being present in IMS-MGIT cultures.</p
Schematic overview of the phage display biopanning approach taken to identify MAP-specific peptide binders using irradiated MAP B4 whole cell antigen (WCA) and ethanol extracted antigen (EEA) targets.

MAP capture sensitivity of magnetic beads coated with monoclonal antibodies and peptides to capture whole cells of MAP strain TB13-008781 from PBS dilutions containing approx. 10<sup>4</sup>−10 cfu/ml when used (A) individually, (B) as 50:50 bead combinations, or (C) as dually-coated beads.
<p>DNA extracted from the bacterial suspensions before MS was used as a control. The expected IS900 PCR product is 394 bp. Lane MW indicates a 100 bp DNA ladder (TrackItâ„¢, Life Technologies).</p
Comparison of results for alternative detection methods and culture (MGIT broth or Lowenstein-Jensen slope).
a<p>Determined by McNemar's Chi-Square test using GenStat Release 14.2.</p><p>Results for all 280 lymph node samples are not broken down by lymph node type.</p
Outgrowth of milk bacteria non-specifically adhering to four types of coated magnetic beads in Middlebrook 7H9 OADC broth without (â– ) and with antibiotic supplements (NOA â—† and PANTA â–¼) after MS was applied to raw milk.

Competitive ELISA results obtained for WCA and EEA generated monoclonal antibodies.
<p>Bacterial suspension of irradiated MAP was added wells as ‘free MAP cells’ prior to the addition of the antibody. Negative control wells received assay buffer followed by the antibody. A decrease in absorbance values in the presence of ‘free MAP cells’ over negative control wells is indicative of MAP binding. Figure depicts the mean absorbance values (n = 3) ± standard error. Mean % binding inhibition was calculated based on the difference in the % binding of the antibody to the attached MAP cells in the presence and absence of ‘free MAP cells’, where negative control wells represent 100% binding.</p
Percentage non-specific capture of a range of <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp. (detailed in Materials and Methods) by variously coated Dynabeads.
<p>Figure depicts mean percentage capture ± standard error of results for ten different <i>Mycobacterium</i> spp. captured by each bead or bead combination: MAb 6G11 coated beads; beads coated individually with MAb 6G11 and MAb 15D10 and used as 50:50 mix; beads dually coated with MAb 6G11 and MAb 54.3.1.AA; beads coated individually with biotinylated aMp3 and aMptD peptides and used as 50:50 mix (control).</p
