The Induction of Tetraploidy in Salmonids     

James M.  Myers William K.  Hershberger  Robert N.  Iwamoto 《Journal of the World Aquaculture Society》1986,17(1-4):1-7

The induction of tetraploidy was attempted in three intraspecies crosses (autotetraploid) of sal-monid: chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ), coho salmon ( O. kisutch ) and rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ), and in the interspecies hybrid (allotetraploid) coho × Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ).
Pressure treatments of 6.2 × 10⁴ kPa (9,000 psi) were applied for six minutes at intervals from 50% of the time to cleavage to beyond first cleavage. Analysis of eyed stage embryos via flow cytometry indicated two periods of tetraploid induction existed corresponding to 55–75% and 100–110% of the first cleavage interval (FCI).
The effects of different pressures and the times of application were analyzed in a study with rainbow trout. Treatments of 4.8 × 10⁴ kPa (7,000 psi) for eight minutes, and 5.5 and 6.2 × 10⁴ kPa (8,000 and 9,000 psi) for four minutes, were applied at 65, 78, and 100% FCI. Tetraploids were found in the 5.5 and 6.2 × 10⁴ kPa group treatments only when applied at 65% FCI.
The results indicate that, while tetraploidy is inducible in salmonids, further experimentation is necessary to discern the appropriate time and treatment for optimal tetraploid induction in each species.  相似文献   

Partial purification and characterization of chicken interleukin-2.   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

T J Myers  H S Lillehoj  R H Fetterer 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》1992,34(1-2):97-114

Chicken interleukin 2 (IL-2) activity was partially purified from conditioned medium produced by culturing chicken splenic lymphocytes in the presence of concanavalin A. The purification procedure included sequential steps of gel filtration chromatography, reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography, and phenyl-sepharose chromatography. Two peaks of IL-2 activity with apparent mol. wt. ranges of 36-39 kD and 17.5-25 kD were eluted from the Sephadex G100 gel filtration column. An increase in IL-2 spec. act. from 14 U mg-1 to between 2000 and 20,000 U mg-1 was obtained for the Sephadex G100 column peaks when subjected to the subsequent steps of the purification procedure. Alkylative reduction of the higher mol. wt. Sephadex G100 column peak (followed by re-chromatography with Sephadex G100), resulted in generation of the lower (17.5 kD) mol. wt. peak, indicating that chicken IL-2 is capable of either dimerizing or forming aggregates with other proteins. Elution of the lower mol. wt. IL-2 activity from a non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel demonstrated an apparent mol. wt. for chicken IL-2 of 20 kD, which confirmed the range of 17.5-25 kD seen with gel filtration.  相似文献   

Colostral and milk antibody titers in cows vaccinated with a modified live-rotavirus-coronavirus vaccine   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

L L Myers  D R Snodgrass 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1982,181(5):486-488

Colostral and milk whey rotavirus (RV) and coronavirus (CV) antibody titers stimulated in 15 beef heifers by vaccination with a modified live-RV-CV vaccine were compared with titers in 15 nonvaccinated heifers. Geometric mean antibody titers to RV in colostral and 3-day milk whey from vaccinated heifers were 2,807 and 92, respectively, and in control heifers were 1,613 and 71, respectively. Geometric mean antibody titers to CV in colostral and 3-day milk whey of vaccinated heifers were 877 and 13, respectively, compared with titers were 877 and 13, respectively, compared with titers in nonvaccinated heifers of 731 and 7, respectively. Differences in antibody titers between vaccinated and nonvaccinated heifers were not significantly different.  相似文献   

Circulating Metabolic Hormones During the Peripubertal Period and Their Association with Testicular Development in Bulls     

LFC Brito  AD Barth  NC Rawlings  RE Wilde  DH Crews Jr    PS Mir  JP Kastelic 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2007,42(5):502-508

The objective of the present study was to characterize changes in serum metabolic hormones concentrations from 20 weeks before to 20 weeks post-puberty in bulls and to investigate the associations of metabolic hormones concentrations with testicular development. Leptin concentrations increased from 16 weeks before puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty and insulin concentrations increased from puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty. Growth hormone concentrations decreased after 4 weeks post-puberty, whereas IGF-I concentrations increased from 8 weeks before puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty. During this period, testicular growth was accelerated and testosterone secretion increased substantially, without any significant changes in gonadotropin secretion. Monthly circulating concentrations of leptin, IGF-I and insulin accounted for 63% of the variation in scrotal circumference and 59% of the variation in paired testes volume. In conclusion, the secretion of metabolic hormones was not associated with changes in gonadotropins concentrations. Furthermore, the associations of leptin, IGF-I and insulin concentrations with testes size indicated that these hormones might be involved in a gonadotropin-independent mechanism regulating the testicular development in peripubertal bulls.  相似文献

Serological and bacteriological detection of Brucella canis infection of stray dogs in Moreno, Argentina     

D M Myers  V M Varela-Díaz 《The Cornell veterinarian》1980,70(3):258-265

A focus of B. canis infection was identified in Moreno, Argentina, among the stray dog population by serologic methods and confirmed in a second survey which included cultural isolations. A counterimmunoelectrophoresis technique using a specific rough Brucella surface antigen was applied to the serodiagnosis of canine brucellosis. This method was found to be as effective as the mercaptoethanol tube agglutination test and the gel diffusion test in detecting B. canis antibodies in natural and experimentally infected animals. The results are discussed in terms of the diagnostic significance of the three tests employed.  相似文献
