Comparative antigenic analysis of extracellular proteins of Bacteroides nodosus isolated from virulent and benign ovine footrot     

W K Yong  L M Gordon 《Veterinary microbiology》1986,12(2):135-145

Antigens in the extracellular protein (ECP) complexes of Bacteroides nodosus, isolated from sheep with either benign or virulent footrot, were studied by immunoelectrophoresis (IEP). Rabbit antisera against ECP from virulent and benign strains, were used in homologous and heterologous crossed IEP. Four precipitin peaks unique to the virulent strain, and five peaks unique to the benign strain were identified. In an attempt to characterize the different antigens in ECP, rabbit antisera were raised against an outer membrane protein (OMP, mol. wt. 35 000 daltons), pili and various proteases of virulent and benign strains of B. nodosus. No precipitin band was observed when ECP from both B. nodosus strains were reacted against anti-OMP and anti-pilus antisera. However, single precipitin bands unique to one protease from the benign strain and one protease from the virulent strain were identified. The results suggest that specific antigens other than proteases or pili are important in determining whether a B. nodosus isolate is virulent or benign.  相似文献

猪轮状病毒2型(PCV2)是潜在的“定时炸弹”吗?     

Gordon Allan  Steve Krakowka  John Ellis  王洪戈 《中国牧业通讯》2003,(20):57-58

对猪轮状病毒2型(PCV2)的研究,为全球探讨断奶后多系统消瘦综合征(PMWS)的特殊问题,提供了许多答案。但是本文提出了一些还需要特别注意的地方 ,用以避免其可能导致的“恶果”出现。过去几年里 ,在关于断奶后多系统消瘦综合征(PMWS)、猪轮状病毒病(PCVD )全球性的探讨中 ,已经对许多关于疾病流行特点的来源和特征进行了广泛的研究。猪血清中猪轮状病毒2型 (PCV2)抗体以及猪的组织样本的检测表明 ,至少从1969年起 ,猪轮状病毒2型 (PCV2)的抗体就已经存在于猪的群体中了。现在已经确定 ,从1986年起在西班牙和英国就发现了传统的PMWS…  相似文献

对Ⅱ型猪圆环病毒的研究为与猪断奶后多系统消耗性综合征在全球爆发有关的问题提供了大量答案,但还有一些方面迫切需要引起人们的关注,以便为可能出现的梦魇般的前景准备对策.  相似文献   

A 31P topical magnetic resonance study of embryonic development in hens' eggs     

P. S. Belton  R. E. Gordon  J. M. Jones  D. Shaw 《British poultry science》1983,24(3):429-433

1. A ³¹P topical magnetic resonance study of whole chicken's eggs in vivo is described.

2. Resonances from adenosine triphosphate, phosphocreatine, inorganic phosphate and phosphorous storage protein were observed. These changed in relative intensity as the embryo developed.

3. No ill effects due to exposure to radiofrequency radiation or magnetic fields were observed.

4. It is concluded that topical magnetic resonance can make a useful contribution to the study of embryonic development in avian eggs.  相似文献   

An improved ferritin assay for canine sera     

Andrews GA  Smith JE  Gray M  Chavey PS  Weeks BR 《Veterinary clinical pathology / American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology》1992,21(2):57-60

An improved serum ferritin assay for canine serum has been developed. It uses two monoclonal antibodies in a sandwich arrangement. Serum ferritin can be determined on undiluted canine sera with this assay. The recovery of ferritin added to canine serum ranged from 98 to 106%, the within-assay coefficient of variability was 3.3 to 4.5%, and the assay-to-assay variability was 9.8 to 10.2%. Serum ferritin from 61 apparently healthy dogs had a geometric mean of 252 ng/ml, with a range of 80 ng/ml to 800 ng/ml.  相似文献   

Dose response of weeds to methyl iodide and methyl bromide   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

W. M. ZHANG  M. E. McGIFFEN JR    J. O. BECKER  H. D. OHR  J. J. SIMS  R. L. KALLENBACH 《Weed Research》1997,37(3):181-189

Labonuory bioassay and field experiments were conducted to characterize the dose response of weeds to methyl iodide and methyl bromide as soil fumigants. The patterns in potency of both fumigants and in sensitivity of diffcretit weed species to the fumigants were distinguished with the use of logistic dose-response models. Similar to its response to methyl hromide fumigation. Amaranthus retrofleus L. was the most sensitive to methyl iodide fumigation. Cyperus rotundtis L. was the least sensitive to methyl iodide fumigation, whereas Portuloca oleracea L. was the least sensitive to methyl hromide. Lolium multiflorum Lam. Abutilon theophrasti Medik. Chenopodium album L. P. ateracea . Brassica kaber (D.C.) L.C. Wheeler and Cyperus escuden-tus L. were similar in sensitivity to methyl iodide. Methyl iodide was as potent as methyl bromide for A. retroflexus but more potent than methyl bromide for L. multiflorum , A. theophrasti. C. album. P. oleracea. B. kaber, C. esculentus and C. rotundus. The dose response for weeds in the field was similar to that obtained in laboratory bioassays. Under fieid conditions. 280 kg ha^-1 methyl iodide killed all species tested except Solanum nigrum L Methyl iodide appears to be a suitable replacement for meihyl bromide because it can be used in situations simitar to methyl bromide fumigation, has superior efficacy against a broad spectrum of pests and has a low potential for degrading the earth's ozone lavers.  相似文献   

Molecular epidemiology of two fowl cholera outbreaks on a free-range chicken layer farm.     

P Zhang  N Fegan  I Fraser  P Duffy  R E Bowles  A Gordon  P J Ketterer  W Shinwari  P J Blackall 《Journal of veterinary diagnostic investigation》2004,16(5):458-460

Two outbreaks of fowl cholera on a multiage free-range egg farm were investigated. The outbreaks occurred in 1994 and 2002. A total of 22 strains of Pasteurella multocida were available for study, 11 from the 1994 outbreak and 11 from the 2002 outbreak. Lesions typical of acute fowl cholera were seen in the 1994 outbreak, whereas both acute and chronic fowl cholera occurred in the 2002 outbreak. The isolates were examined in an extended phenotypic typing methodology, by a P. multocida-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), by the Heddleston somatic serotyping scheme, and by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) typing using the enzyme HpaII. All 22 strains had the same phenotypic properties, all were confirmed as P. multocida by PCR, all were Heddleston serovar 4, and all had the same REA pattern. The results indicate that these 2 outbreaks were caused by the same clone of P. multocida--despite the 8-year time period between the outbreaks.  相似文献
