              Abstract 
 
              Aim: The present study was 
              carried out in 100 cattle to assess the antibody response to 
              Haemorrhagic Septicaemia alum precipitated vaccine by Microtiter 
              Agglutination Test (MAT), Indirect Haemaaglutination Assay (IHA) 
              and Monoclonal Antibody based Indirect Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent 
              Assay (ELISA).Materials and Methods: One hundred cattle from a local 
              gaushala of Ludhiana were vaccinated with alum precipitated 
              Haemorrhagic Septicaemia vaccine. Serum was collected at 0, 42, 84 
              and 128 days post immunization (DPI) and antibody titers at different 
              stages were estimated by MAT, IHA and ELISA.
 Results: The animals exhibited the classical pattern of 
              humoral immune response with gradual increase and achievement of 
              peak antibody titers plateau by 42 DPI and gradual decline by 128 
              DPI. The IHA titers in cattle were significantly higher (P<0.05) 
              at 42 days post immunization than the corresponding MAT titers on 
              the same day. ELISA titers were significantly higher (P<0.05) than 
              MAT and IHA titers at 42 DPI. IHA was found to be more sensitive 
              than MAT, and the titers were higher by ELISA than by MAT and IHA 
              throughout the observation period.
 Conclusion: The results indicate that animals vaccinated 
              with commercial alum precipitated HS vaccine could not develop and 
              sustain adequate levels of antibody for long duration.
 Keywords: antibody titers, haemorrhagic septicaemia, 
              Indirect Haemaaglutination Assay, Pasteurella multocida.
