The neutralizing epitope (K-COE) of the spike protein from a Korean strain of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has been shown to prevent and foster an immune response to PED, when orally adjusted. The cell surface of the budding yeast,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was engineered to anchor
The detection of persistent bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infections in cattle by DNA dot blot hybridization was done with a cloned cDNA probe prepared from noncytopathic BVDV (strain NY-1). Due to the variability of specific hybridization results, detection of BVDV by primer-directed
The approach of cDNA synthesis followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was used to develop a rapid screening test for the detection of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in bulk tank milk samples. The initial development of this detection method was done using lactating Holstein
The disease mechanisms associated with onset and secondary effects of rotavirus (RV) diarrhea remain to be determined and may not be identical. In this study, we investigated whether onset of RV diarrhea is associated with increased intestinal permeability and/or motility. To study the transit time,
The RT-PCR is an in vitro technique that is increasingly being used for diagnosis of viral animal pathogens. Due to its high sensitivity it is considered as an alternative to current standard methods for detecting BVDV especially in pooled samples, e.g. from bulk tank milk. A prerequisite for the
Cryptosporidium, an intestinal protozoan pathogen, is one of the leading causes of diarrhea in healthy adults and death in children. Detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts has become a high priority to prevent potential outbreaks. In this paper, a label-free interdigitated-based
Virulence and pathogenicity of an Escherichia coli O157:H7 sorbitol-positive mutant were investigated with an infant rabbit animal model as well as a battery of in vitro assays. Total cell lysate protein profiles, outer membrane protein profiles, plasmid profiles, and levels of cytotoxic activity
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) produce diarrhea in humans by a mechanism that involves close adherence to epithelial cells in the intestine and colon. Close adherence is associated with effacement of microvilli and condensation of actin beneath the bacteria, a process termed
A direct fluorescent antibody test was developed for the identification of large spirochetes which are considered to be the cause of swine dysentery. Sera from swine which had recovered from swine dysentery and had been hyperimmunized by the intravenous and intraperitoneal injection of filtered
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a common cause of acute diarrhea in resource-poor settings. We report that some ETEC strains elicit a reduction in trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TER) in polarized T84 epithelial cell monolayers. The effect was irreversible up to 48 hours after a
We evaluated a direct fluorescent-antibody test to detect Clostridium difficile, the most frequent cause of antibiotic-associated colitis. C. difficile organisms were injected into the ear veins of New Zealand White rabbits to induce antibodies, and the globulin fractions of their sera were
The possible involvement of delta 2 opioid receptors in the development of morphine dependence was investigated using selective delta 2 receptor antagonists, naltriben (NTB) and naltrindole 5'-isothiocyanate (5'-NTII). The degree of morphine dependence was estimated by the ED50 values of naloxone
The purpose of this study was to attempt to establish spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity effector activity in the intraepithelial lymphocytes of neonatal piglets by adoptive transfer of mononuclear leukocytes from an adult donor and to determine the effect of transfer on the resistance of
Previously, we have shown that the development of physical dependence on morphine in mice is inhibited substantially by treatment of mice with the highly selective, nonequilibrium delta-2 opioid receptor antagonist, naltrindole-5'-isothiocyanate. With the availability of the highly selective,
The development of HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) has been one of the most significant advances of the past decade in controlling HIV infection. Unfortunately, the benefits of HIV PIs are compromised by serious side effects. One of the most frequent and deleterious side effects of HIV PIs is severe
