              Abstract 
 Aim:
              To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant outer membrane 
              proteinC (rOmpC) based enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) for the 
              diagnosis of salmonellosis in poultry. 
              Materials and Methods: Three antigens were prepared, and the 
              indirect ELISA was standardized using the antigens and the 
              antiserum raised in chicken against Omp and rOmpC. Sera were 
              collected from a total of 255 apparently healthy field chickens 
              and screened for the presence of Salmonella antibodies by 
              this ELISA. 
              Results: The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel 
              electrophoresis analysis of Omp revealed major polypeptides at 36, 
              42 and 52 kDa, and the rOmpC was evident by a single protein band 
              of 43 kDa. The Omp and rOmpC antigen revealed an optimum 
              concentration of 78 and 156 ng, respectively, in the assay, while 
              the whole cell antigen gave an optimum reaction at a concentration 
              of 106 organisms/ml. The test was found to 
              be specific as it did not react with any of the antisera of seven 
              other organisms. The developed ELISA detected Salmonella 
              antibodies from 22 (8.62%) samples with rOmpC antigen, while 24 
              (9.41%) samples gave a positive reaction with both Omp and whole 
              cell antigens. 
              Conclusion: We suggest rOmpC based indirect ELISA as a 
              suitable screening tool for serological monitoring of poultry 
              flocks. 
              Keywords: antibody, antigen, outer membrane 
              protein, poultry, Salmonella.
