Identification of a dominant epitope in the hemagglutinin of an Asian highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 1 virus by selection of escape mutants.
humans. The hemagglutinin (HA) is a glycoprotein on the surface of the virus envelope. Understanding its antigenic structure is essential for designing novel vaccines that can inhibit virus infection. The ...
Evaluation of rapid antigen detection kits for the diagnosis of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 infection.
especially the HP H5N1, is important in terms of controlling and minimizing the spread of the virus. Several rapid antigen detection kits that are able to detect influenza A viruses in less than 1 hr are ...
Evaluation of different serologic markers for the early detection of avian influenza infection in chickens.
the different antigens showed similar kinetics in the different infected animals, but they were lower when the animals were infected with AI viruses originating from waterfowl, and the kinetics of the ...
Flow cytometric differentiation of avian leukocytes and analysis of their intracellular cytokine expression.
(2010) Keywords: Animals Antibodies, Monoclonal Antigens, CD45 Blood Platelets Cell Separation Chickens Erythrocytes Flow Cytometry Interleukin-1beta Interleukin-6 Leukocytes Phycoerythrin Staining and ...
Immunologic response of unvaccinated workers exposed to anthrax, Belgium.
Proliferation Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Humans Inhalation Exposure Occupational Exposure T-Lymphocytes Abstract: To determine immunologic reactivity to Bacillus anthrax antigens, we conducted serologic ...
Comparative pathogenesis of an avian H5N2 and a swine H1N1 influenza virus in pigs.
swine virus, the AIV produced lower virus titers and fewer antigen positive cells at all levels of the respiratory tract. The respiratory part of the nasal mucosa in particular showed only rare AIV ...
Characterization of pathogenic and resistant genome repertoire reveals two clonal lines in Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi B (+)-tartrate positive.
of the O:5 antigen, were identified. All O:5 antigen negative strains were multidrug resistant and originated (with two exceptions) from Belgian, Dutch, or German poultry. Strains exhibiting the O:5 ...
Vaccination of birds other than chickens and turkeys against avian influenza.
provided the vaccine was sufficiently matched antigenically with the challenge virus. Inactivated vaccines induce good antibody titres in most species when applied twice and when body weight is taken into ...
Comparison of classical serotyping and PremiTest assay for routine identification of common Salmonella enterica serovars.
strains (90.8%) by serotyping, while the remaining 69 strains were found to be nontypeable due to either a lack of surface antigen expression or autoagglutination properties. When the PremiTest assay ...
The polymeric stability of the Escherichia coli F4 (K88) fimbriae enhances its mucosal immunogenicity following oral immunization.
instead of an antigen-specific immune response. We have shown before that as a result of oral immunization of piglets with F4 fimbriae purified from pathogenic enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), the ...
