A recombinant PvpA protein-based diagnostic prototype for rapid screening of chicken Mycoplasma gallisepticum infections.
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the primary agent of chronic respiratory disease causing important economic losses in the poultry industry. Serological monitoring is essential to maintain mycoplasma-free breeder flocks and often complicated by the cross-reactions between different mycoplasma species. To overcome serological cross-reactions, a large fragment of the M. gallisepticum PvpA cytadhesin, ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of the Mycoplasma gallisepticum pvpA gene which encodes a putative variable cytadhesin protein.
A putative cytadhesin-related protein (PvpA) undergoing variation in its expression was identified in the avian pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The pvpA gene was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, and sequenced. It exhibits 54 and 52% homology with the P30 and P32 cytadhesin proteins of the human pathogens Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma genitalium, respectively. In addition, 50% ho...
متن کاملA novel chimeric recombinant protein PDHB-P80 of Mycoplasma agalactiae as a potential diagnostic tool
The aim of this study was to construct, expression of a novel recombinant chimeric protein consisting of Pyruvate dehydrogenase beta subunit (PDHB) and high antigenic region of integral membrane lipoprotein P80 of Mycoplasma agalactiae as a potential diagnostic tool. The full-length sequence of pdhb and a portion of antigenic regions of P80 were selected and analyzed by CLC ma...
متن کاملDevelopment of a recombinant protein-based dot-blot hybridization assay for the detection of antibody to chicken infectious bronchitis virus
Nucleocapsid (N) protein of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), one of the viral structural proteins, inducesstrong antibody response in natural infection. In this study, a simple, recombinant N protein-based dot-blottest was developed to serologically examine chicken serum samples for the presence of IBV antibody.Initially, 72 serum samples were tested for the presence of IBV antibody using a c...
متن کاملDynamics of Conjunctivitis and Mycoplasma Gallisepticum Infections in House Finches
--Conjunctivitis, an infectious disease caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), has produced a significant decline in eastern House Finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) of North America. In this paper, we present findings from two complementary studies designed to clarify annual and seasonal trends of MG infections in House Finches from the northeastern United States. The first was a field study of ...
