Chauhan, R.S.; Singh, B.P. and Singh, L.K. 2001. Immunomodulation with Kamdhenu ark in mice. J. Immunol. Immunopathol., 3: 74-77. The immunomodulatory effect of Kamdhenu ark was studied on 20 mice divided into 2 groups. Groups I was kept as control while group II mice were given 1 ml Kamdhenu ark in water for a period of 90 days. Results indicated that there was increased Band Tlymphocyte blast...

In order to investigate the prevalence and detection of etiological agents of pyelonephritis in Shahrekordabattoir, 404 kidneys of slaughtered cattle (207 female and 197 male) were inspected. Kidney samples, whichhad gross changes were obtained for histological examination. Urine and renal tissue samples were alsocollected aseptically for microbiological examination. In histological examination...

A nonpathogenic strain of Rhizobium (=Agrobacterium) vitis, ARK-1, limited the development of grapevine crown gall. A co-inoculation with ARK-1 and the tumorigenic strain VAT07-1 at a 1:1 cell ratio resulted in a higher population of ARK-1 than VAT07-1 in shoots without tumors, but a significantly lower population of ARK-1 than VAT07-1 in grapevine shoots with tumors. ARK-1 began to significant...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the central regulator of the reproductive axis. Normal sexual maturation depends on the migration of GnRH neurons from the olfactory placode to the hypothalamus during development. Previously, we showed restricted expression of the membrane receptor adhesion-related kinase (Ark) in immortalized cell lines derived from migratory but not postmigratory GnRH...

The California Milk Cell Test (CMCT) and somatic cell counts (SCC) on their own were not reliable methods in the identification of subclinical mastitis in the dairy goats studied and should be accompanied by microbiological tests. However, CMCT and SCC were indicators of irritation of the udder parenchyma. In healthy goats Spectrazol Milking Cow (Schering-Plough AH) caused the least and Curaclo...

Abstract Introduction Fentanyl immunoassays have considerable crossreactvitiy with fentanyl derivatives such as acetylfentanyl, acrylfentanyl, furanyfentanyl and the primary metabolite norfentanyl. This poses substantial analytical challenges to clinical laboratories that confirm by mass spectrometry may lead false negative confirmations in patients analogs or primarily metabolites their urine....

BACKGROUND Modern genetically improved dairy cows continue to lactate throughout almost the entire pregnancy. Therefore, recent commercial cow's milk contains large amounts of estrogens and progesterone. With regard to the exposure of prepubertal children to exogenous estrogens, the authors are particularly concerned about commercial milk produced from pregnant cows. The purpose of the present ...

A nonpathogenic strain of Rhizobium vitis ARK-1 was tested as a biological control agent for grapevine crown gall. When grapevine roots were soaked in a cell suspension of strain ARK-1 before planting in the field, the number of plants with tumors was reduced. The results from seven field trials from 2009 to 2012 were combined in a meta-analysis. The integrated relative risk after treatment wit...

Crown gall of grapevine, which is caused by tumorigenic Rhizobium vitis, is the most important bacterial disease of grapevine throughout the world. Screening tests of biological control agents resulted in the discovery of a nonpathogenic R. vitis strain ARK-1. By soaking grapevine roots with a cell suspension of strain ARK-1 prior to planting in the field, ARK-1 treatment significantly reduced ...

s of papers 59 IBDV as a possible cause of proventriculitis. SPF leghorns were divided into 6 groups. At 4 weeks of age, the birds were challenged with Ark homogenate (Group 6), Ark + 1:10 Anti-Reovirus antibody (Group 5), Ark + undiluted Anti-Reovirus antibody (Group 4), Ark + 1:10 antiIBDV antibody (R63) (Group 3), Ark + undiluted anti-IBDV antibody (R63) (Group 2), and diluent (Group 1). Ant...
