The diagnostic performance of the ABCA13, MMP8 and SPARC-based ELISAs for the focal and any type of lesion groups was compared with the IDEXX ELISA and additionally with other conventional PTB diagnosis methods such as specific fecal and tissue real-time PCR and bacteriological culture ( Table 4 ). Our results indicate that the ABCA13, SPARC and MMP8-based ELISAs have higher AUC values and sensitivities than the IDEXX ELISA and other current diagnostic methods for detection of animals with focal, multifocal and any type of histopathological lesions, respectively. ./cache/cord-012891-heqsfzkm.txt ./txt/cord-012891-heqsfzkm.txt
