Formalized African horse-sickness (AHS) type 9 virus cultivated in monkey kidney stable (MS) cell cultures was experimentally used for immunizing horses. Inactivated vaccines prepared either from viscerotropic or neurotropic type 9 AHS virus produced antibodies in vaccinated horses. Immunity developed in all horses vaccinated with various amounts of the vaccine, and protected them from infection, when challenged 5 weeks after vaccination.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of centrifugation pretreatment on the viability and nuclear status of porcine in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes and on the developmental competence of in vitro fertilized (IVF) oocytes (zygotes) after cryopreservation by vitrification (Solid Surface Vitrification; SSV). Mature oocytes having the first polar body after IVM and zygotes having the second polar body at 10 h after IVF were centrifuged at 10,000 x g at 37 C for 20 min and then subjected to SSV. Their viability was evaluated by morphological appearance and fluorescein diacetate staining. The nuclear status of oocytes was evaluated 6 h after vitrification. The developmental ability to the blastocyst stage of vitrified zygotes was evaluated after 6 days of in vitro culture. Although centrifugation did not damage the oocytes directly, it drastically reduced the rate of live oocytes after SSV. The rates of vitrification-induced parthenogenetic activation were similar in both centrifuged and non-centrifuged oocytes (42.4 and 47.4%, respectively). Centrifugation had no significant effects on the viability of pronuclear oocytes. The development of vitrified zygotes to the blastocyst stage was significantly lower than that of the control irrespective of centrifugation pretreatment. There was no difference in the cleavage and blastocyst rates between the control and centrifuged zygotes after vitrification. There was also no difference in the total cell numbers of blastocysts between the control and centrifuged zygotes irrespective of vitrification. These results reveal that, in IVM porcine oocytes, centrifugation pretreatment is highly detrimental to cryotolerance; however, in zygotes, it has only a slight effect on viability and does not alter the developmental competence of surviving zygotes.  相似文献

Decrease in bovine CD14 positive cells in colostrum is associated with the incidence of mastitis after calving     

Yoshio Kiku  Tomomi Ozawa  Shiro Kushibiki  Madoka Sudo  Kouhei Kitazaki  Noriaki Abe  Hideyuki Takahashi  Tomohito Hayashi 《Veterinary research communications》2010,34(2):197-203

During the postpartum period there is a high incidence of mastitis in dairy cows. The reason for this increased risk of mastitis still remains unclear. Since leukocytes in colostrum have an important role in preventing the onset of mastitis, we investigated the leukocyte populations, which express CD4, CD8, CD14, CD21 or WC1, in colostrum as well as in blood obtained from 14 Holstein cows. Eight cows developed mastitis within a week after calving and the other 6 remained healthy. The percentage of CD14+ cells in colostrum was significantly lower in mastitic cows than in healthy cows. There were no significant differences in other marker positive cells either in the colostrum or in the blood. The CD14+ cells in colostrum play an important role of defense against invading microorganisms in the mammary glands. Our results suggested that the lower percentage of CD14+ cells in colostrum might predict the incidence of mastitis in the following period.  相似文献   

Effect of intramammary infusion of recombinant bovine GM-CSF and IL-8 on CMT score,somatic cell count,and milk mononuclear cell populations in Holstein cows with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Staphylococcus aureus</Emphasis> subclinical mastitis     

Yoshio Kiku  Tomomi Ozawa  Hideyuki Takahashi  Shiro Kushibiki  Shigeki Inumaru  Hiroyuki Shingu  Yuya Nagasawa  Atsushi Watanabe  Eiji Hata  Tomohito Hayashi 《Veterinary research communications》2017,41(3):175-182

The effect of intramammary infusion of recombinant bovine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rbGM-CSF) and interleukin-8 (rbIL-8) on mononuclear cell populations in quarters, somatic cell count (SCC) and the California Mastitis Test (CMT) score were investigated. From the selected cows with naturally occurring Staphylococcus aureus subclinical mastitis, one quarter of each cow were selected for the infusions of rbGM-CSF (400 μg/5 mL/quarter, n = 9), rbIL-8 (1 mg/5 mL/quarter, n = 9), and phosphate-buffered saline (5 mL/quarter, n = 7). The CMT score of both cytokines post infusion temporarily increased between days 0 and 1 and significantly decreased between days 7 and 14 compared to the preinfusion level. The SCC on day 14 after infusions of rbGM-CSF tended to be lower than that of the control group. The percentage of CD14+ cells increased on days 1 and 2 post infusion of rbGM-CSF. The percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ cells also increased on days 2 and 3, suggesting that the infusion of rbGM-CSF enhanced cellular immunity in the mammary gland. In contrast, the percentage of CD14+ cells decreased on days 0.25 and 1 post infusion of rbIL-8. No significant changes in the percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ cells in milk after infusion of rbIL-8 were evident during the experimental period, which suggested that rbIL-8 had little effect on the function of T cells in the mammary gland. These results indicated that rbGM-CSF and rbIL-8 decreased the CMT score by a different mechanism and may have a potential as therapeutic agents for subclinical mastitis.  相似文献

Thermal stability of the synthetic peptides with the sequence of fish fast skeletal muscle tropomyosin     

Ozawa  Hideo  Watabe  Shugo  Ochiai  Yoshihiro 《Fisheries Science》2009,75(4):1029-1037

Tropomyosins from fish skeletal muscle show high amino acid sequence homology, although their thermal stability is clearly different among species. In order to determine the regions that are responsible for the stability of this protein, five synthetic peptides of 30mer were synthesized by Fmoc method, based on the sequence of walleye pollack Theragra chalcogramma fast skeletal muscle tropomyosin, namely, N terminal Met¹-Lys³⁰, the variable region Asp⁸⁴-Leu¹¹³, the middle region Val¹²⁸-Ala¹⁵⁷, the region containing the conservative Cys (Leu¹⁷⁶-Lys²⁰⁵), and C terminal Asp²⁵⁵-Ile²⁸⁴. The thermal stability of these peptides was measured by circular dichroism and differential scanning calorimetry. The helical contents of these peptides were decreased in a temperature-dependent manner, although they showed no clear melting temperature, suggesting that the enthalpy necessary for the complete denaturation of these peptides was low. Peptides Asp²⁵⁵-Ile²⁸⁴ and Asp⁸⁴-Leu¹¹³ showed the highest and second highest α-helical contents, respectively, and the other peptides gave rise to lower α-helical contents.  相似文献   

Bending creep behavior of wood under cyclic moisture changes   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

This study examined the bending creep behavior in the longitudinal direction of six species under cyclic moisture content (MC) changes. For each species, tests were made at 20°C with five cyclic relative humidity changes between 65% and 95%, beginning from moisture adsorption. A load corresponding to 25% of short-term breaking load of the species was applied to the radial section of each specimen with four-point bending. The effect of MC change on instantaneous compliance was also investigated under the same condition. The quantitative relation between mechano-sorptive (MS) compliance and MC change was examined, and the material parameter KM for the relation in specific sorption was determined. Results indicated that the total compliance in the six species with different behavior increases with sorption time. As an integral part of total compliance, instantaneous compliance changes linearly with MC and influences to a greater or lesser extent the total compliance behavior. In general, with increasing MC change, the MS compliance linearly increases during the first adsorption and all desorption and decreases slightly during subsequent adsorption. The material parameterK _M varies markedly not only with species but also with specific sorption. The first adsorption causes the largest deformation, followed by desorption.This paper was presented at the 48th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society in Shizuoka, Japan.
