Local lung responses following local lung challenge with recombinant lungworm antigen in systemically sensitized sheep.
BACKGROUND Chronic mast cell-mediated inflammation may contribute significantly towards the extensive tissue remodelling that is a feature of lungworm infection in ruminants. Understanding the factors that control tissue remodelling is a necessary step toward effective management and treatment of conditions that feature such pathology. OBJECTIVE We sought to define in a novel ovine model syst...
متن کاملLocal lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep
Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments. An experimental protocol was designed to facilitate comparisons with elastase-treated and control segments within the same lung of individual shee...
متن کاملBHV-1 Antigen Detection in Paraffinized Lung Sections of Pneumonic Sheep Lung Using Immunohistochemistry
Background: Respiratory tract infections caused by some viruses with cattle origin have been demonstrated in sheep and goats. OBJECTIVES: The main goal of this study was to determine Bovine Herpes virus type 1 BHV1antigen in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lung tissue of pneumonic sheep, using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining method. METHODS: For this purpose, the lungs of 4079 sheep, which...

necessary to look at both. Using a very special inhibitor of mitochondria1 respiration antimycin A, which inhibits the electron transfer from cytochrame B to C,, we were able to inhibit approximately two-thirds of alveolar macrophage oxygen uptake, but not superoxide release. Subsequently, we have been interested in comparing alveolar macrophages from smokers and nonsmokers. Our initial studies...
متن کاملLocal cytokine transcription in naïve and previously infected sheep and lambs following challenge with Teladorsagia circumcincta
BACKGROUND The abomasal helminth Teladorsagia circumcincta is one of the most economically important parasites affecting sheep in temperate regions. Infection is particularly detrimental to lambs, in which it can cause pronounced morbidity and severe production losses. Due to the spreading resistance of this parasite to all classes of anthelmintic drugs, teladorsagiosis is having an increasingl...
