Protection against reinfection with D614- or G614-SARS-CoV-2 isolates in golden Syrian hamster
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-04-29)
Reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 have already been documented in humans, although its real incidence is currently unknown. Besides having a great impact on public health, this phenomenon raises the question ...
Stable neutralizing antibody levels 6 months after mild and severe COVID-19 episodes
(Elsevier, 2021-01-31)
Background. Understanding mid-term kinetics of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is the cornerstone for public health control of the pandemic and vaccine development. However, current evidence is rather based on ...
Selecting Subpopulations of High-Quality Protein Conformers among Conformational Mixtures of Recombinant Bovine MMP-9 Solubilized from Inclusion Bodies
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)
A detailed workflow to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of mammalian matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-9) protein species obtained from protein aggregates (inclusion bodies—IBs) was followed. ...
A smartphone-controlled amperometric immunosensor for the detection of Pacific ciguatoxins in fish
(Elsevier, 2021-12-02)
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) are marine neurotoxins produced by microalgae of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. CTXs may reach humans through food webs and cause ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). An immunosensor ...
Interaction of Type 1 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus With In Vitro Derived Conventional Dendritic Cells
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-02)
The present study delineates the interaction of a typical PRRSV1.1 isolate 3267 (moderate virulence) with in vitro derived pig conventional dendritic cells, cDC1, cDC2, and a CD14+ population (designated ...
Acidification of the culture medium as a strategy to control endophytic contaminations in Prunus spp. rootstocks cultured in GreenTray TIS bioreactor
(Elsevier, 2021-08-20)
Overgrowth of endophytes in some in vitro cultures may disrupt the normal shoot tip growth and proliferation, being necessary to obtain endophytes-free cultures to achieve a normal plant micropropagation ...
Identification and Characterization of Swine Influenza Virus H1N1 Variants Generated in Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated, Challenged Pigs
(MDPI, 2021-10-16)
Influenza viruses represent a continuous threat to both animal and human health. The 2009 H1N1 A influenza pandemic highlighted the importance of a swine host in the adaptation of influenza viruses to ...
Effects of conditioning, source, and rest on indicators of stress in beef cattle transported by road
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01-12)
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the welfare of farm animals, especially during transportation. The Canadian transport regulations state that weaned cattle require an 8 h rest after 36 h of ...
Assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials: sheep and goats
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-12-07)
In this opinion, the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of sheep and goats have been assessed. The assessment has been performed ...
Porcine Protein Hydrolysates (PEPTEIVA®) Promote Growth and Enhance Systemic Immunity in Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus aurata)
(MDPI, 2021-07-16)
The effects of porcine plasma protein hydrolysate (PPH) on growth, feed efficiency, and immune responses was evaluated in Sparus aurata. Fish were fed two isoproteic (48% protein), isolipidic (17% fat), ...
