Comparison of Two ELISA Screening Tests and a Non-Commercial Glutaraldehyde Coagulation Screening Test for the Detection of Failure of Passive Transfer in Neonatal Foals, by J. T. McClure, J. Miller and J. L. DeLuca; P0645.1103

چکیده
CITE enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was an unacceptable screening test for failure of passive transfer because of poor sensitivity. SNAP ELISA and glutaraldehyde coagulation tests are more appropriate screening tests. Specificity of the SNAP ELISA is better than the glutaraldehyde coagulation test. A second confirmatory test should be considered when using the glutaraldehyde coagulation test.

متن کاملEvaluation of IgG Concentration in Foals with Failure of Passive Transfer after Administration of Intravenous Serum or Plasma
Plasma treatment in foals resulted in greater increases in post-transfusion serum IgG concentrations compared with serum treatment. The results of this study suggest that similar foal serum IgG concentrations can be achieved 3 days post-transfusion by administering 1 unit of plasma product or 2–3 units of serum product. Authors’ addresses: Avon Animal Hospital, 45 Morison Dr., Box 2406, Windsor...

The subgroup J of ALV (ALV-J) has emerged as an important pathogen of meat-type chickens since1989. This virus is responsible for economic losses due to both mortality and depressed performance inchickens. So, the objective of this study is the detection of ALV-J in the albumen of commercial and nativefowl eggs using RT-PCR. Three hundred and seventy egg albumens were randomly selected from dif...

Background: Prostate cancer is the second form of cancer among men worldwide. For early cancer detection, we should identify tumors in initial stages before the physical signs become visible. The present study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), its comparison with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in prostate cancer screening and also in patients with localized ...
