| neutralization of tetanus toxin by human and rabbit immunoglobulin classes and subunits. | this investigation found that the human antibody class of importance in neutralizing tetanus toxin in mice was igg, and that toxin neutralization was retained by the f(ab')2 and fab' subunits of the human igg class. although human igm and iga classes appeared to neutralize tetanus toxin at very low levels, evidence was obtained that this neutralization was probably due to igg contamination. human fabmu isolated from the igm class did not neutralize tetanus toxin. human antibodies of the igg, igm ... | 1977 | 590997 |
| epidemic caprine keratoconjunctivitis: recovery of mycoplasma conjunctivae and its possible role in pathogenesis. | clinical, microbiological, serological, histological, and therapeutic aspects of two separate outbreaks of caprine keratoconjunctivitis are described. the disease was characterized by a high rate of contagion, rapid onset, intense lacrimation, conjunctival hyperemia, and corneal opacity with neovascularization. in addition, many of the animals developed respiratory illness during the second epidemic. the only organism consistentlyisolated was mycoplasma conjunctivae. a total of 23 strains were i ... | 1977 | 591066 |

| inhibition of vasopressin-release during developing hypernatremia and plasma hyperosmolality: an effect of intracerebroventricular glycerol. | in non-hydrated goats prolonged (3 h, 0.02 ml/min) intracerebroventricular (ivt) infusion of 0.35 m glycerol depressed the plasma vasopressin level during the entire infusion period which resulted in a conspicuous water diuresis outlasting the infusion by about 20 min. since no compensatory drinking occurred during this sustained water diuresis it gradually induced pronounced dehydration (loss of greater than 1 liter of total body water causing 5% increase in plasma [na+] and osmolality). the sa ... | 1978 | 654932 |
| [nickel--an essential trace element. 3. effect of nickel deficiency on reproductive performance in female animals]. | a total of 26 ni-deficient (less than 100 ppm ni in the ration) breeding goats and their 30 kids and 24 corresponding control goats with 37 kids were used to investigate, over 6 experimental years, the influence of ni-deficiency on the reproductive performance until weaning. following the same arrangement, 7 and 6 mini sows, respectively, and their piglets (71 and 67) were studied. the following statistically secured results were obtained. ni-deficiency resulted in reduced pregnancy rates (after ... | 1978 | 655862 |
| boundary refinement of the lysozyme antigenic site around the disulphide bond 6-127 (site 1) by 'surface-simulation' synthesis. | 1. we have previously shown that an antigenic site (site 1) in native lysozyme resides around the disulphide bond 6-127 and, by classical synthesis of nine disulphide peptides, the antigenic site was accurately narrowed down to the structure cys((6))-arg((14))-[cys((6))-cys((127))] -gly((126))-arg((128)). only a few residues on this disulphide peptide were proposed to be involved in the reactivity with antibody. however, this lacked direct verification and the role of arg-128 remained uncertain. ... | 1978 | 656053 |

| radioimmunoassay of murine leukemia virus p30 using staphylococcus aureus as immunoadsorbent. | a competition radioimmunoassay for murine leukemia virus p30 has been developed. serial dilutions of the unknown in wells of microtiter plates are incubated with 125i-labeled p30 and goat antiserum specific for p30. bound p30 is then removed by an immunoadsorbent specific for goat immunoglobulin, prepared from s. aureus. an internal standard of 51cr is used to correct for volumetric errors, the amount of the labeled p30 precipitated being calculated from the 125i/51 cr ratio of the supernatant. ... | 1978 | 659902 |

| cell surface carbohydrate recognition and the viability of erythrocytes in circulation. | the presence of sialic acid on the cell surface is crucial for the survival of mammalian erythrocytes in circulation. in contrast, sialidase-treated chicken erythrocytes retain their viability in circulation. galactose oxidase treatment of chicken red blood cells has no effect on their viability. however, after sialidase treatment, galactose oxidase treatment results in the rapid elimination of the chicken erythrocytes from circulation. this is compatible with the interpretation that consecutive ... | 1978 | 662920 |
| responses to exercise in the pregnant pygmy goat. | pregnant pygmy goats were trained to walk on a treadmill up a 10 degree grade at a rate of 1.5 mile/hr for 10 min. hemodynamic measurements were made in duplicate during late pregnancy and postpartum, at rest and after 3 min of exercise. all kids were weighed within 12 hr of delivery to assess the effect of exercise on fetal growth. pulse rate, cardiac output and oxygen consumption were higher during pregnancy than postpartum, at rest and also during exercise. stroke volume increased significant ... | 1978 | 663445 |
| [johne's disease in goats. report of a case (author's transl)]. | a case of johne's disease in a goat is reported. the final diagnosis was not established until a post-mortem examination had been made. the fact is stressed that the symptoms described do not only suggest parasitic infection but also johne's disease. | 1978 | 663926 |
| a comparison of the development of body components in sudan desert sheep and goats. | sixty-six male sudan desert sheep and a similar number of sudan desert goats representing different weight classes of sheep and goats commonly slaughtered in the local market were killed and carcass data collected. the patterns of the relative increase in weight of the components of the body were similar in both species with the exception of the skin, tail, liver and loin cut. at 30 kg empty bodyweight the goat yields a heavier carcass, omentum and head but a lighter skin, tail and feet than she ... | 1978 | 664009 |

| delayed drinking in response to electrical and thermal stimulation of the medial forebrain. | water intake in response to electrical and thermal stimulation of the medial forebrain was studied in the goat. when the frontal wall of the third cerebral ventricle was included in a field of bipolar electrical stimulation a dipsogenic response was obtained after discontinuation of the stimulation. release of antidiuretic hormone (adh) was apparently also elicited. the water intake was roughtly proportional to the amount of current which had been applied during the stimulation period. water con ... | 1978 | 665264 |
| survey of parasites in dairy goats. | the survey was performed to study prevalence and intensity of parasitic infection in goats. fecal samples were examined from 336 goats in southeastern pennsylvania and northern maryland. on the basis of fecal egg, oocyst, and larval counts, the following results were obtained. eimerian oocysts were found in 100% of the fecal samples and the greatest fecal oocyst counts were found in goats under 6 months of age. strongyle eggs and strongyloides eggs were present in 76% and 20%, respectively, of t ... | 1978 | 666082 |
