  • Systemic bacterial infections in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Awan, Mohammad Arif
    Abstract:
    In broiler operations, various health problems develop during the final two weeks of the growing period, resulting in increased mortality and condemnation losses. At this stage, sickly birds were found to be systemically infected by various bacteria regardless of varied clinical signs. The main objective of the present study was...

  • Production of monoclonal antibodies against infectious laryngotracheitis virus of chickens and their use in an indirect immunofluorescenct diagnostic test

    Creator:
    Abbas, Ferhat, 1962-
    Abstract:
    Monoclonal antibodies were developed against USDA challenge strain of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV). Indirect immunofluorescence test was used to detect antibodies in supernatants of hybridomas. Hybridoma cells were developed by fusing Sp 2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells obtained from mice immunized four times with partially purified USDA challenge strain...

  • Monoclonal antibodies against P-1059 strain of Pasteurella Multocida

    Creator:
    Khosraviani, Mehraban
    Abstract:
    Monoclonal antibodies were developed against serotype 3, P-1059 strain of Pasteurella multocida. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to detect antibodies in supernatants of hybridoma cells to either a surface protective (2.5 S) antigen prepared from a 2.5% saline extract or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prepared by the phenol-water method. Forty two...

  • Non-specific innate immunity against Escherichia coli infection in white leghorn chickens

    Creator:
    Huang, Hsuan-Jen
    Abstract:
    This research was initiated to investigate a high mortality problem occurring in market age broiler chickens in Oregon. Initial field investigations revealed that mortality was due to the systemic bacterial infections. The subsequent laboratory experiments suggested that suppressed short-term, non-specific innate immunity rather than pathogenic properties of bacteria caused the...

    Chickens Induced by Vaccine Strains of Newcastle Disease Virus 79 5.1 Abstract

  • Application of monoclonal antibody for the immunohistochemical detection of Newcastle disease virus in the chicken

    Creator:
    Ahmad, Mueez
    Abstract:
    The detection and identification of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has never been straightforward. Serologically indistinguishable pathotypes produce a wide spectrum of disease that ranges from a severe respiratory, neurologic, or enteric disease with high mortality to an asymptomatic infection. Extensive use of ND vaccine strains further complicates the serological differentiation...

  • Studies of immunological and molecular biological techniques with infectious laryngotracheitis virus of chickens

    Creator:
    Abbas, Ferhat, 1962-
    Abstract:
    Monoclonal antibodies (MCA) produced against infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) of chickens reacted in western blotting experiments with several different ILTV protein bands in the absence of tunicamycin which inhibits carbohydrate synthesis. Most of the MCA lost their reactivity in western blotting experiments when extracts of tunicamycin-treated ILTV CELC were used,...
