The computer-assisted, kinetics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for coronavirus antibodies in cats was calibrated to the conventional indirect immunofluorescence assay by linear regression analysis and computerized interpolation (generation of "immunofluorescence assay-equivalent" titers). Procedures were developed for normalization and standardization of kinetics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results through incorporation of five different control sera of predetermined ("expected") titer in daily runs. When used with such sera and with computer assistance, the kinetics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay minimized both within-run and between-run variability while allowing also for efficient data reduction and statistical analysis and reporting of results.  相似文献   

光照对鸡产蛋性能的影响及其机理研究——Ⅲ.光照对鸡大脑皮质电位的影响     

胡仲明  柳巨雄  张玉生 《中国兽医学报》1987,(4)

选用22只“星杂579”成龄母鸡,以电生理方法观察了光照(30lx)及在麻醉状态下光照(30lx)和黑暗对其大脑皮质“Wulst”区电位的影响。结果,黑暗时的电位可因光照而抑制;注射氯胺酮麻醉后,电位明显变小,再给黑暗和光照,电位均没有变化。表明大脑皮质参与了光照对鸡的生理调节过程。  相似文献   

The structure of bovine secretory component     

D Beale 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》1987,17(1-4):37-49

Bovine secretory component (SC) has been cleaved with trypsin into a series of fragments and their N-terminal amino acid sequences have been determined. The close homology with the known sequence of human SC has enabled the sequential order of the fragments to be deduced. The results indicate that bovine SC consists of a single glycosylated polypeptide chain (Mr 74,000) folded into five globular immunoglobulin-like domains. A protein (Mr 94,000) has been isolated from detergent solubilised bovine epithelial membranes from liver, intestine and mammary gland. This membrane protein is specific for the binding of J-chain linked IgM and IgA dimers. It can be proteolytically cleaved into a water soluble SC-like portion and a detergent soluble hydrophobic portion. Bovine SC is therefore most likely to be the extracellular part of an epithelial receptor which mediates the transport of IgA dimers to mucosal surfaces. The various tryptic fragments from bovine SC have been shown to differ in their relative binding affinities for IgM and IgA dimers. The results imply that the first three domains of bovine SC are most involved in binding and domains 4 and 5 play subsidiary roles. Computerized prediction and modelling methods have been used to deduce possible tertiary and quaternary structures for SC. There are good indications that the molecule has an elonaged "zig-zag" structure stabilized by longitudinal inter-domain contacts. A model of SC bound to IgA dimer is presented.  相似文献   

The phenomenon of stress: Concepts and mechanisms associated with stress-induced responses of the neuroendocrine system     

B. Ann Becker 《Veterinary research communications》1987,11(5):443-456

Stress, stressors and the stress response are terms which represent concepts rather than oeing precisely definable. No single theory of stress has been universally accepted. Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome of stress remains the primary theory for the basis of stress research in food-producing animals; however, other concepts and theories have been developed. This paper reviews current theories and suggests that the complexity of research on stress in food-producing animals can be attributed to the lack of concrete theories and concepts regarding identifiable stressors, the endocrine responses stimulated by potential stressors and the complex and integrated biological changes in the neuro-endocrine system resulting from exposure to hypothesized stressors.  相似文献   

Fatty acid profiles and sensory and carcass traits of tissues from steers and swine fed an elevated monounsaturated fat diet   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

Twelve Angus X Hereford steers were assigned to either a control high-energy diet or a test diet consisting of 20% rapeseed at the expense of 20% corn. Twelve pigs were allotted to a control diet and two test diets containing either 10 or 20% canola oil (CO). Both CO and oil in the rapeseed contained 60 to 64% oleic acid. Cattle fed rapeseed exhibited little effect from the diet due to apparent indigestibility of the rapeseed. Total saturated fatty acids decreased from 40% in adipose tissue of the control pigs to 15% in the 20% CO-fed pigs. The ratio of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids (M/S) increased from 1.19 in adipose tissue from control pigs to 3.63 with the addition of 20% CO to the diet. In muscle, the M/S ratio increased from 1.21 in control pigs to 2.46 in the 20% CO treatment group. The percentage of the saturated fatty acids in muscle decreased from 42% in the control to 23% in the 20% CO treatment. Significant increases in "oiliness" and decreases in fat firmness were observed when increasing levels of canola oil were fed. Sensory traits, cooking loss and shear-force values of pork chops were similar among treatment groups. In conclusion, monounsaturated fatty acid content can be elevated substantially in pork without adversely influencing the quality of the meat, thus producing a product perceived to be more healthful by the consumer.  相似文献
