Sensitivity of Suckling Mice to Various Strains of Infectious Bronchitis Virus

Nephropathogenesis of chickens experimentally infected with various strains of infectious bronchitis virus.

Four-day-old specific-pathogen-free chickens were inoculated by eyedrop with four different strains (Gray, JMK, CV56b, and Wolgemuth) of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Birds were monitored clinically and euthanatized at 1, 4, 7, and 14 days postinfection and tissues were collected for virus isolation, histopathologic examination, in situ hybridization (ISH), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). ...

Pathogenesis of vaccine strains of measles virus in suckling hamsters

Development of attenuated vaccines from Taiwanese infectious bronchitis virus strains.

Due to variations in serotypes among different strains of avian infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV), vaccination of chicks with imported vaccines fails to protect them from IBV infections in Taiwan. Therefore, we develop attenuated vaccines from local strains in Taiwan. A Taiwan Group I (TW I) strain was passaged 74 times through specific pathogen-free (SPF) chicken embryonated eggs, and then t...

Taste sensitivity in various strains of mice.

SETO. Taste sensitivity in various strains of mice. Am. J. Physiol. 202 (6) : I 200-1204. 1g62.-The present study was designed to elucidate the differences in taste sensitivity in various strains of mice, and to study the relationship between taste sensitivity and color of the fur. Taste thresholds for four kinds of taste substance, i.e., sodium chloride, saccharine, acetic acid, and phenylthio...
