The applicability of serological tests in the diagnosis of intrauterine infections in Danish cattle was investigated. Fetuses from slaughter animals, experimentally infected and spontaneously aborted fetuses, premature and stillborn calves, were subjected to necropsy and histological studies, and to microbiological and serological examinations. The latter comprised rocket immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion. In sera of the fetuses from slaughter animals, immunoglobulins were either not detectable or only present in very small quantities, whereas sera of fetuses and calves with pathological changes and/or verified infection contained considerable amounts of IgM and IgG. IgA was also detected in the latter group. The results corroborate the diagnostic importance of immunoglobulin determination in aborted fetuses and stillborn calves.
对丹麦牛群中血清学检测在诊断子宫内感染方面的适用性进行了研究。对屠宰动物的胎儿、实验感染和自然流产的胎儿、早产和死产的犊牛进行了尸检、组织学研究以及微生物学和血清学检查。血清学检查包括火箭免疫电泳和放射免疫扩散。在屠宰动物胎儿的血清中，要么检测不到免疫球蛋白，要么仅以极少量存在，而有病理变化和/或经证实感染的胎儿和犊牛血清中含有大量的IgM和IgG。在后一组中也检测到了IgA。这些结果证实了免疫球蛋白测定在流产胎儿和死产犊牛诊断中的重要性。
