The responses of horses to predator stimuli
It is not known whether the instincts of wild horses have remained strong during their centuries of domestication. Knowledge of this matter would give riders the opportunity to know more about the behavior of horses and consequently about safety for both horses and riders. In this current research, we studied the behavior of fifteen Caspian miniature horses of different ages and sexes using sti...
متن کاملImmune Responses to Antigens of in vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worms in Balb/c Mice
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...
متن کاملInnate immune responses to Rhodococcus equi.
We examined innate immune responses to the intracellular bacterium Rhodococcus equi and show that infection of macrophages with intact bacteria induced the rapid translocation of NF-kappa B and the production of a variety of proinflammatory mediators, including TNF, IL-12, and NO. Macrophages from mice deficient in MyD88 failed to translocate NF-kappa B and produced virtually no cytokines in re...
متن کاملRecombinant Streptococcus equi proteins protect mice in challenge experiments and induce immune response in horses.
Horses that have undergone infection caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (strangles) were found to have significantly increased serum antibody titers against three previously characterized proteins, FNZ (cell surface-bound fibronectin binding protein), SFS (secreted fibronectin binding protein), and EAG (alpha2-macroglobulin, albumin, and immunoglobulin G [IgG] binding protein) from S....
متن کاملImmune responses to soluble antigens of treponemes.
Sonicates from five cultivable treponemes were used as antigens in delayed hypersensitivity tests and macrophage inhibition assays. Immunodiffusion analysis showed that the sonicate comprised two major antigenic components which were not distinguishable in the skin tests. The sonicate antigens elicited significant cell-mediated immunity in guinea-pigs. Treponema refringens biotype Nichols prove...
