In an examination of 34 southern African SAT-type foot-and-mouth disease viruses, all but 1 attained satisfactory levels of infectivity within 6 passages in rolled BHK21 monolayer cell cultures. However, there were marked differences between adapted viruses with respect to the mass of immunogen (146S material) produced. Several isolates which consistently produced levels greater than or equal t...

The present study evaluates the adjuvant effect of rec-B2L protein orf virus and widely used oil with purified inactivated FMDV 146S trivalent antigens (O, A Asia 1) in guinea pig model. Rec-B2L expressed prokaryotic expression system was co-administered intradermally antigens. serum antibody titre, CMI response protective efficacy against FMDV-type ‘O’ virulent challenge were assessed. titres ...

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is one the most contagious diseases in cloven-hoofed animals has a great potential for causing severe economic loss susceptible animals. In fight against FMD disease, inactive vaccines are widely used. This study was carried out detection of suitable BHK-21 cell lines order to get virus suspensions containing excess amounts 146S serotypes O, A Asia-1, vaccine produc...

background: hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of e. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. therefore, who recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (hb) treatment by determination of cd15s and cd11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  in addition, this study describes changes in cd77 and cd34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. materials and methods:expression of cd11b and cd...
