Variability-specific differential gene expression across reproductive stages in sows
(Elsevier, 2013-10-11)
Differential gene expression analyses typically focus on departures across mathematical expectations (i.e. mean) from two or more groups of microarrays, without considering alternative patterns of ...
Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-13)
Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ...
Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(Public Library of Science, 2013-03-04)
Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ...
Neutralizing antibodies against porcine circovirus type 2 in liquid pooled plasma contribute to the biosafety of commercially manufactured spray-dried porcine plasma
(Oxford University Press, 2013-05-01)
Neutralizing antibodies (NA) inherently present in pooled plasma collected at commercial abattoirs may provide some protection against potential porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infectivity of plasma. ...
Characterization In Vitro and In Vivo of a Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Virus from a Fatal Case
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-10)
Pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses caused mild symptoms in most infected patients. However, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young adults and children without co-morbid ...
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-14)
Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ...
