Foetal fluids are important in preventing mechanical shock to the developing foetus during entire gestation. Amniotic and allantoic fluids are actively involved in constant exchange of biochemical substance between foetus and maternal circulation. Hence the knowledge regarding changes in the composition of the foetal fluid is important for understanding foetal metabolism and diagnosis of pathol...

Rabbit antibody directed against normal allantoic fluid reduced the protective power of influenza vaccine prepared from egg-grown PR8 virus. A similar vaccine prepared from mouse lung virus was not inhibited. Preimmunization of mice with normal allantoic fluid or with egg-grown influenza B/Lee vaccine (crude or purified) inhibited the protective power of PR8 egg vaccine but did not affect a sim...

The objective was to understand how two forms of folate-binding protein interact to accomplish folate transport during pregnancy in swine. Specific folate binding was measured in uterine flushings during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy and in allantoic fluid (secreted form) and placental membranes (membrane form) throughout later pregnancy. In addition, the localization of the secreted fo...

there are little information about growth properties of low pathogenic (lp) avian influenza virus (aiv) in embryonated chicken eggs (eces) at different incubation temperatures. knowledge of this information increases the quantity and quality of antigen in vaccine production process. for this purpose, 10-5 dilution of aiv (a/chicken/iran/99/h9n2) was inoculated (intra-allantoic) into 400, 11-day...

Evidence is presented which shows that there is a component present in normal allantoic fluid, probably mucoprotein in nature, capable of combining with influenza A virus (PR8), and that following combination between this component and the virus only partial dissociation of the complex occurs. Evidence is also presented which strongly suggests that the component is present in virus-infected all...

There are little information about growth properties of low pathogenic (LP) avian influenza virus (AIV) in embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) at different incubation temperatures. Knowledge of this information increases the quantity and quality of antigen in vaccine production process. For this purpose, 10(-5) dilution of AIV (A/Chicken/Iran/99/H9N2) was inoculated (Intra-allantoic) into 400, 11-d...

General theories on the inactivation of viruses in the presence of a concentrated protein, such as the allantoic fluid of chicken eggs, are not useful. That is, although sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide are generally known as strong virucidal agents, they do not sufficiently inactivate viruses in allantoic fluid. We found that benzalkonium chloride (BC) is an effective virucidal agent a...
