Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) form nine lethally infected and three convalescent gnotobiotic dogs infected with the R252 strain of canine distemper virus (CDV) was evaluated prior to and following infection. Lethally infected dogs had a mean seven-fold increase in CSF albumin concentration compared to
Thirteen dogs with encephalomyelitis attributable to canine distemper virus infection were classified into 3 groups on the basis of histopathologic evidence of virus-induced lesions in CNS tissue. Analysis of data indicated a similarity within groups when arranged by age, clinical neurologic signs,
For development of an animal model of virus-induced anergy, the effect of canine distemper virus (CDV) upon cell-mediated immunity in dogs was investigated. First, canine cutaneous reactions and in vitro lymphocyte responses to soluble protein antigens were characterized. Dogs immunized with picryl
Distemper disease is an infectious disease reported in several species of domestic and wild carnivores. The high mortality rate of animals infected with canine distemper virus (CDV) treated with currently available therapies has driven the study of new efficacious treatments. Mesenchymal stem cell
Sera and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from four dogs with delayed-onset canine distemper viral (CDV) encephalitis (old dog encephalitis) were compared with samples from dogs with acute CDV and from recently vaccinated controls. Dogs with old dog encephalitis (ODE) had elevated CSF IgG concentrations
Albumin and IgG were quantitated in paired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from dogs with demyelinating canine distemper virus (CDV) infection by means of rocket immunoelectrophoresis. The IgG index as indicator for intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis was normal in animals with
This is a prospective, controlled, randomized clinical study to evidence the role of nitrosative stress in development of overt neurological sign of canine distemper (CD). The enrollment of cases wasa made on basis of overt sign of CD (n=139) and the findings were compared with apparently healthy
The IgG index, IgM and IgA contents in cerebrospinal fluid and serum were examined retrospectively using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 69 dogs with inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) diseases of various aetiologies. Fifteen normal dogs were used as controls. After measuring
BACKGROUND
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced in the cerebral ventricles through ultrafiltration of plasma and active transport mechanisms. Evaluation of proteins in CSF may provide important information about the production of immunoglobulins within the central nervous system as well as possible
The IgG index is a calculated quotient using IgG and albumin contents of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum to detect intrathecal IgG synthesis, which is important in the diagnosis of inflammatory infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). An ELISA to measure IgG and albumin contents
