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
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,...
