| an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of antibodies to trypanosoma (t.) brucei evansi in camels (camelus dromedarius) using peroxidase-conjugated protein a. | serum samples from dromedary camels naturally and experimentally infected with trypanosoma (t.) brucei evansi were examined by means of the elisa, using either an anti-camel or a protein a conjugate. the protein a horseradish peroxidase conjugate was found to bind to camel igg and thus to be a suitable alternative to the anti-camel conjugate. results obtained from both tests showed that the respective values correlate significantly. | 1986 | 3749736 |
| conformational changes induced by polyanions in haemoglobin from camelus dromedarius. studies on the ferric derivatives. | the effect of inositol hexakisphosphate on the redox equilibria and on the c.d. spectra of ferric derivatives of haemoglobin from camelus dromedarius has shown that: two distinct functionally relevant binding sites for polyanions are present on the protein; conformational changes promoted by inositol hexakisphosphate are largely dependent on spin state of the iron; tertiary and quaternary changes are not necessarily linked; structures induced by polyanions can be mixed forms that are neither t-s ... | 1986 | 3753446 |
| characterization of a camel milk protein rich in proline identifies a new beta-casein fragment. | a camel milk whey protein has been isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. the protein is, like caseins, rich in proline (25% of the whole protein). the n-terminal amino acid sequence shows that the protein is homologous with a c-terminal region of beta-caseins analyzed from other species. the protein is concluded to be a fragment of beta-casein, derived from a non-tryptic type of cleavage of the parent molecule, and increasing the multiplicity of known casein products. | 1986 | 3763959 |

| latent aggression-promoting properties of mouse bladder urine activated by heat. | the aggression-promoting property of bladder urine in adult male mice was investigated. under a newly developed stimulus application procedure (i.e., camel hairbrush applicator). experiment 1 determined the minimal volume at which bladder and voided urine educed agonistic behavior in agressors. it was found that at least 0.05 ml of bladder urine and 0.03 ml of voided urine, both from intact males, were needed to induce significantly more attacks and uro-anal sniffs than respective urine types fr ... | 1986 | 3778641 |
| the cytochromes p-450 concentrations in microsomes of liver, kidney and duodenal mucosa of the camel, sheep and goat. | the concentration of microsomal cytochromes p-450, and of protein in the homogenate, cytosol and microsomes were measured in the liver, kidney and duodenal mucosa of healthy well-fed male and female camels, sheep and goats. for comparison, data from the liver of male and female rats were also obtained. the protein concentrations in the tissues of adult animals were broadly similar in the four species. the concentration of cytochromes p-450 was highest in the liver, followed by the kidney, then t ... | 1986 | 3788032 |
| echinococcus granulosus infection in dogs in tambool, sudan. | in the tambool area (central eastern sudan) a survey was made of the infection rate of echinococcus granulosus in dogs. from the total of 49 dogs shot by the police authority, 25 (51%) had e. granulosus in their intestines. the range of worm recovery was 7 to 28,400. these high infection and recovery rates could be explained by the rate of infection in the intermediate host (camel) slaughtered in the area. | 1986 | 3794293 |

| halothane anaesthesia in the dromedary camel. | it was shown that the effects of halothane anaesthesia in the dromedary are similar to those of large domestic ruminants. as a general rule the equipment and techniques used for adult cattle may also be used in the dromedary. endotracheal intubation may be more difficult in camels because of their narrow oral cavities. involuntary regurgitation is a particular hazard in dromedaries and every effort should be made to avoid this potentially life threatening complication. | 1986 | 3811182 |
| mating-induced luteinizing hormone surge and ovulation in the female camel (camelus dromedarius). | blood samples were collected after mating from four female one-humped camels every 10 min for 9-12 h. luteinizing hormone (lh) was quantified in plasma by radioimmunoassay using antibovine lh. of the seven observed matings, five were followed by a release of lh, and three by an ovulation (indicated by a subsequent secretion of progesterone). lh levels at the time of mating ranged from 0.7 to 3 ng/ml. when an lh response occurred, the levels increased 1 h after mating and reached a maximum in 2-3 ... | 1986 | 3814695 |
| dot-elisa for the rapid serodiagnosis of human hydatid disease. | we studied the serodiagnosis of human hydatid disease using the dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dot-elisa) and the indirect hemagglutination assay (iha). hydatid cyst fluid antigens from sheep were highly reactive against a battery of positive human sera. moose-derived antigen was less reactive, whereas human- and camel-derived antigens showed nonspecific false-positive reactions. sensitivity of the dot-elisa was 96% using sheep-derived antigen and 45 human sera from 43 surgically proven ... | 1986 | 3816047 |
| the distribution and comparison of glutathione, glutathione reductase and glutathione s-transferase in various camel tissues. | extracts prepared from liver, kidney, lung and brain of camel contain glutathione, glutathione s-transferase and glutathione reductase. liver had the highest level of glutathione (218.7 mumol/g wet weight) whereas brain had the lowest level (66.4 mumol/g wet weight). the highest activity for glutathione reductase was found in the kidney (2.6 mumol/min/mg protein) while the lowest activity was found in the lung (0.9 mumol/min/mg protein). glutathione s-transferase activity was the highest in live ... | 1986 | 3816148 |
| blood constituents in relation to the reproductive state in she-camel (camelus dromedarius). | progesterone, enzymes, minerals, trace elements, and total protein were determined in the blood serum of nine non-pregnant, early, mid-, and late pregnant as well as puerperal camels, and were assessed in their relation to the reproductive state. the progesterone level followed by the copper level reaches peak values at mid-pregnancy. the zinc level decreases with increasing pregnancy, alkaline phosphatase increases. hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia occur towards the end of pregnancy; the total ... | 1986 | 3566702 |
| ultrastructure of the intrahepatic bile duct system of the one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius). | the ultrastructure of the intrahepatic bile duct system of the camel was studied. bile canaliculi are present as cavities containing numerous microvilli between adjacent hepatic cells. they are lined with cuboidal cells surrounded by a basal lamina. the lateral plasma membranes of adjacent cells form extensive evaginations below tight junctions at the lumenal surface. the basal surface is open. collagen bundles are arranged mainly in parallel to the duct. | 1985 | 3832967 |
