Pathological Investigations on Bovine Pheumonic Pasteurellosis by Use of Immunoperoxidase Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Lesions of calf pneumonia caused by Pasteurella haemolytica or P. mu/t,ocida were examined histopathologically using an immunoperoxidase technique for the detection of the bacterial antigen. The results indicated that: 1) multifocal coagulation necrosis sharply demarcated by degenerated leukocytes was a characteristic pulmonary lesion caused by P. haemolytica, 2) other bacteria than P. haemolytic a sometimes caused necrotic lesions in lungs of calves with naturally acquired pneumonia, 3) the lack of multifocal coagulation necrosis in P. multocida pneumonia was the major difference from P. haemolytica pneumonia, and 4) the immunoperoxidase technique can be used for the accurate diagnosis of pneumonia in cattle. Discipline: Animal health Additional key words: pneumonia, Pasteurella haemolytica, P. multocida

The diagnosis of bovine virus diarrhoea-mucosal disease in cattle.
Laboratory diagnostic procedures for bovine virus diarrhoea and mucosal disease are reviewed. For serology, emphasis is placed on the virus neutralisation test and enzyme immunoassays. The techniques and the pitfalls which may be encountered in culture procedures for isolation of the virus are described, with special reference to the use of immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase methods for th...

The biphasic mRNA expression pattern of bovine interleukin-8 in Pasteurella haemolytica lipopolysaccharide-stimulated alveolar macrophages is primarily due to tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 is the bacterial agent responsible for the pathophysiological events associated with bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. Our previous studies support a role for the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from P. haemolytica in the induction of proinflammatory cytokines. One of the pathological hallmarks of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis is an influx of neutrophils into the al...
متن کاملAn infectivity assay for bovine leukemia virus using the immunoperoxidase technique.
This report describes the development of a 7-day infectivity assay for bovine leukemia virus (BLV) which is based on the induction of the major internal virion antigen (a protein with a molecular weight of 25,000) in susceptible indicator monolayer cell cultures. In this assay, the antigen is detected in the indicator cells by the immunoperoxidase antibody technique using a specific rabbit anti...
