Table 1. Diagnostic specificity in non-vaccinated, non-infected cows and vaccinated, non-infected cows.

Animals No. of samples Kits

LPBE (%) PrioCHECK (%) NCPanaftosa (%)
Non-vaccinated, non-infected cows 203 99.5 99.0 100
Vaccinated, non-infected cows
Cows administered vaccine once 116 NC a) 100 100
Cows administered vaccine four times 28 NC 100 100
Cows administered vaccine once in the field 40 NC 95.0 97.5

Total 184 NC 98.9 99.5

a) Not calculated because the diagnostic specificity is a percentage of samples which are correctly confirmed as antibody-negative among samples which may not have antibodies induced by virus infection as well as antibodies induced by vaccination while the LPBE kit can detect antibodies induced by virus infection as well as antibodies induced by vaccination.
