Immunoglobulins (Ig) in feline sera and secretions were identified by immuno-electrophoresis and immunodiffusion with rabbit antisera prepared to feline IgG, IgA, IgM, and whole serum. Adult cat sera, colostral whey, postcolostral sera, tears, and nasal secretions contained IgG, IgA, and IgM. IgG was the only Ig identified in precolostral sera and cerebrospinal fluid. Milk, intestinal contents,...

The administration to human beings of formalin-killed influenza virus, concentrated from allantoic fluid, resulted in a high order of antibody response within 2 weeks after injection. Even after 1 year the great majority of individuals vaccinated had antibody levels considerably above their prevaccination titer for the PR8, Lee, and a current 1943 strain. An investigation of the occurrence of e...

The murine allantois is the future umbilical component of the placenta. The base of the allantois is also thought to contain the future germ line. We have examined the fate and developmental potency of cells within the murine allantois during gastrulation. lacZ-expressing headfold-stage allantoises (approximately 8.0 days postcoitum; dpc) were subdivided into three proximodistal regions and tra...

. For the first time, results of analysis collection virus-containing allantoic fluid are presented and yield hemagglutinin from stages acceptance is analyzed. production influenza vaccine “Ultrix/Ultrix Quadri, hatching” eggs were obtained chickens various crosses. The biomaterial was taken crosses domestic foreign production: Rhodonite-3, Hisex brown, Dekalb white, Belarus autosex. "Ultrix/Ul...

Polyamines are essential for embryonic and fetal survival, growth, and development. Additionally, polyamines may induce autophagy in mammalian cells. However, little is known about the availability of polyamines or autophagy in the porcine conceptus with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The present study was performed to evaluate the developmental changes of polyamine concentrations in I...

Cloning by nuclear transfer is often associated with poor results due to abnormal nuclear reprogramming of somatic donor cells and altered gene expression patterns. We investigated the expression patterns of imprinted genes IGF2 and IGF2R in 33- to 36-day bovine embryos and chorio-allantoic membranes derived from in vivo- and in vitro-produced embryos by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), pa...

A rapid method of ultracentrifugation pelleting of avian adenovirus (AAV) from small volume of chloroform treated infected cell culture fluid or allantoic fluid was adapted for isolation of adenoviral DNA. The viral DNA extracted from semipurified viruses was found to be intact on agarose gel and pure enough (A260/280 = 1.85-1.92) for restriction enzyme analysis. Restriction endonuclease analys...

These results show that primary chick embryo cells in culture release a particle bound RNA dependent DNA polymerase into the culture fluid. The enzyme is also found in the allantoic fluid of embryonated chicken eggs. This phenomenon is not restricted to the chicken system because primary quail embryo cells which are not known to express the so far known endogenous viruses release a particle bou...
