Absence of Chlamydia-like organisms in pigs
Porcine reproductive failure, especially abortion, causes significant economic loss in the pig industry. Waddlia chondrophila and Parachlamydia acanthamoebae are potential abortigenic agents for pigs. Therefore, we investigated the presence of these two Chlamydia-like organisms in abortion-related samples originating from Belgian pig farms. All investigated samples remained negative.
متن کاملCross-reactivity between H-2K and H-2D products. I. Evidence for extensive and reciprocal serological cross-reactivity
Serological cross-reactivity between the products of the H-2K and H-2D genes has been demonstrated by a design in which antibody was produced against determinants controlled by one locus (e .g . H-2K(k)), and then tested against the product of the opposite locus (e .g . H-2D(d)). A total of 13 out of 18 such test combinations exhibited H-2K-H-2D cross-reactivity. The presence or absence of cros...
متن کاملIdiotypic cross-reactivity between antibodies of different specificities
Cross-idiotypic specificity has been demonstrated between antibody populations of different specificities using antibodies directed toward human sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS). A site-specific antibody directed toward the beta6-position of HbS, anti-Val, was used to elicit an anti-idiotypic response in rabbits. Using this anti-idiotypic serum, idiotypic cross-reactivity was demonstrated between a...
متن کاملImmunogenicity and Serological Cross-Reactivity of Saliva Proteins among Different Tsetse Species
Tsetse are vectors of pathogenic trypanosomes, agents of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa. Components of tsetse saliva (sialome) are introduced into the mammalian host bite site during the blood feeding process and are important for tsetse's ability to feed efficiently, but can also influence disease transmission and serve as biomarkers for host exposure. We compared the sialome compo...
متن کاملNovel Chlamydia-like Organisms as Cause of Bovine Abortions, UK
To the Editor: Despite the worldwide economic impact of, and welfare issues associated with, infectious bovine abortifacients, as well as potential zoonotic threats to human health, accurate diagnosis of the causes of abortion is uncommon (1). This poor diagnosis could be explained in part by the lack of identifi cation of infectious abortifacient agents. Although Chlamydophila abortus is a kno...
