production and application of a live salmonella gallinarum vaccine.the production and application of a freeze-dried salmonella gallinarum vaccine are described in this report. the vaccine is stable when kept at 4 degrees c and a single injection elicits a good immunity for 2 months, though its effect gradually diminishes. immunity is neither enhanced nor depressed by repeated injections of the live vaccine, and no interference effect was observed in experimentally infected chickens. furazolidone therapy jeopardizes the immunogenicity of a live vaccine, but its ...1979551367
the influence of protein source and basal dietary component on survival in acute experimental fowl typhoid in the chick (gallus domesticus).1. the influence of diet on the survival of chicks inoculated orally at 15 d of age with salmonella gallinarum was determined, and in the first experiment the numbers of salmonellae were counted in blood 5 or 7 d after inoculation to assess their value in predicting survival. 2. significantly more chicks survived among those given beef powder as the protein supplement in a starch-based diet than among those where fish flour replaced beef powder. the number of salmonellae in blood was significant ...1977588545
[changes in the toxic, antigenic and immunogenic properties of the o-antigen of salmonella gallinarum-pullorum irradiated with gamma rays].studied was the effect of gamma-rays at rates of 1 to 20 mr on the toxic, antigenic, and immunogenic properties of the o-antigen extracted from salmonella gallinarum-pullorum by the method of boivin. it was found that the irradiation of aqueous solutions of the o-antigen lowered the toxic, antigenic, and immunogenic capacity with the increase in the dose of treatment. strongest detoxication of the endotoxin was produced through irradiation at the rate of 10 mr, and especially at 20 mr. the antig ...1977595373
increased survival from acute salmonella gallinarum infection in chicks given diets with high levels of some forms of iron.amounts exceeding 100 ppm of extra dietary iron as the ferric salts of ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (fee) or nitrilotri-acetic acid (fen) produced highly significant increases in survival among chicks infected with 10(6.4) living salmonella gallinarum strain 9. additional dietary iron (400 ppm) as the sulphate or chloride salts (or as ferric fructose) lacked activity comparable with fee or fen except when 0.2 per cent of nae was also present in the diet. fee iron (600 ppm) also diminished th ...1977605293
a fowl typhoid outbreak in a chicken breeder flock.fowl typhoid was diagnosed in a 1-year-old light-breed brown-egg-laying chicken breeder flock and in a 16-week-old progeny pullet flock on the same farm. salmonella gallinarum was cultured from chickens in both flocks. signs and lesions were typical. the disease was confined to the one farm. the source was suspected to have been a grossly contaminated well.1977606229
[diagnostic value of serological methods and of the allergy method in studying pullorum disease-fowl typhoid in poultry].it was established that the positive allergy reaction was best expressed at the forty-eighth hour following the introduction of the allergen. the diagnostic value of the allergy reaction was not shown to surpass that of the serum agglutination reaction. it proved to be close to the value of the other serologic methods of examination (the whole-serum and whole-blood agglutination tests). the allergy method of investigation could be used as a tentative method, resp., reaction test for the detectio ...1977607558
experimental induction of an immunohaemolytic anaemia in the chicken with salmonella gallinarum endotoxin.the possibility that the extreme refractoriness of the chicken to injected endotoxin would permit the buildup of sufficient free endotoxin in the circulation to immunologically modify the erythrocytes in vivo and thereby cause them to be eliminated from the circulation was investigated. it was shown that a moderately severe immunohaemolytic anaemia accompanied by a mild spenomegaly could be induced in chickens by single (large) or multiple injections of salmonella gallinarum endotoxin (sge). var ...1978647450
haematological, serological and pathological effects in chicks of one or more intravenous injections of salmonella gallinarum endotoxin.abnormalities appeared a few hours after groups of 14-day-old chicks (gallus domesticus) were injected intravenously with 15 mg/kg of endotoxin (lps) from salmonella gallinarum. clinical illness without mortality was accompanied by significant (p less than 0.05) falls in body temperature, bursa weight, the main haematological parameters, serum iron (si) and transferrin saturation (ts) and a significant increase in unsaturated iron-binding capacity. all responses, apart from bursa weight, si valu ...1978653115

[combined vaccines in veterinary medicine in the developing countries].it is in the interest of developing countries to have combined vaccines in veterinary medicine, not so much because they reduce production costs, but rather because they increase convenience and efficacy concerning the logistics of prophylactic projects in the field, thus lowering the cost of these projects. their drawbacks are basically due to the biological compatibility of immunogens (possible immunosuppression by some viruses) and to the interaction of the various components when mixed, or w ...1978753663
[dynamics of agglutination in birds artificially infected with salmonella gallinarum-pullorum and salmonella typhimurium and treated with sulfaguanidine and furazolidone].canadian leghorn chickens were used to study the effect of sulfaguanidine and furazolidon on the dynamics of blood agglutinin formation. the birds were artificially infected with salmonella gallinarum-pullorum and salmonella typhimurium. at various intervals following infection they were treated with sulfaguanidine 1% tablets and 0.04% furazolidon. the level of agglutinins was determined by the methods of huddleson (whole blood agglutination reaction), the fast serum agglutination, the method af ...1976797104
experimental fowl typhoid in chicks impaired immunologically by treatment with cyclophosphamide.male chicks were injected intramuscularly with 6 mg of cyclophosphamide daily for three consecutive days, the initial dose being given on the day of hatching. this treatment impaired bursal development and lymphopoiesis and no circulating antibodies appeared after such chicks were injected with salmonella gallinarum antigens at 19 and again at 26 days of age. in impaired chicks which were infected orally when 15 days old with s gallinarum the level of mortality was essentially the same as that i ...1977841202
enhancement of survival in acute experimental fowl typhoid in chicks by the administration of iron dextran.chicks aged 15 days were infected orally with 10(6-4) living salmonella gallinarum. iron from iron dextran or ferric ammonium citrate (dfe and cfe respectively), in doses of 2-0 or 0-4 mg/kg given intramuscularly at the time of infection, had no effect on subsequent mortality compared with infected controls. increasing the amount of cfe to the maximum (20 mg/kg) that was non-toxic intramuscularly was also ineffective but when the dose of dfe was increased to 20 or 50 mg/kg the survival rate rose ...1977870957
altered absorption and regulation of iron in chicks with acute salmonella gallinarum infection.chicks aged 15 days were infected orally with salmonella gallinarum. during the six-day period immediately following infection the absorption of 59fe from the gut fell progressively to be eventually about half that in noninfected chicks. this reduced uptake was accompanied by a shift in the distribution of the 59fe absorbed, more occurring in the spleen and less in the liver and blood. during the eight-day period that immediately followed infection in another experiment, serum iron concentration ...1977877434
[age-related dynamics of agglutinin formation in poultry experimentally infected with salmonella gallinarum-pullorum].agglutinin production in birds experimentally infected with salmonella gallinarum-pullorum directly correlates with age. the older the birds, the earlier setting on of agglutinogenesis, and the better the immune response. along with this agglutinins persist longer in the blood serum. it is suggester to carry out the first serologic examination in infected flocks of the leghorn breed when the birds are aged 50-55 days. this term may be essential only in cases where the birds have been infected at ...1977919340
[antibody dynamics in growing birds experimentally infected or naturally sick with white diarrhea].serologic studies were carried out with growing birds, aged 37-70 days, experimentally and spontaneously infected with salmonella gallinarum and salmonella pullorum, respectively. more positively reacting birds were found by means of the whole-blood agglutination reaction with typhoid-pullorum test than in the study of the same birds when aged 6-7 months. the investigation of birds when young is also advantageous in that there are no losses of eggs, it is more readily carried out, and the infect ...1977929972

proposed revisions to the serological typing system for treponema hyodysenteriae.antisera were prepared in rabbits against seven well-characterized strains of treponema hyodysenteriae of known serotype, and reacted in agarose gel double immunodiffusion tests (agdp) with lipopolysaccharide (lps) extracted from 18 western australian isolates of the organism. eight isolates were provisionally typed by this method, but sera raised against one 'typed' and two 'untypable' local isolates reacted in an unexpected fashion with lps from other local and type strains. serum raised again ...19892492944
neomycin induces high-affinity agonist binding of g-protein-coupled receptors.neomycin, an inositol-phospholipid-binding aminoglycoside antibiotic, is known to interfere with signal transduction mechanisms involving phospholipase c as effector enzyme. in this study, we report that neomycin can also markedly influence agonist binding of g-protein-coupled receptors. in membranes of differentiated human leukemia cells (hl 60 cells), neomycin (0.1-10 mm) was found to induce high-affinity binding of the chemotactic tripeptide, n-formyl-methionylleucylphenylalanine (fmet-leu-ph ...19892556274
distribution, oxygenation, and clonogenicity of macrophages in a murine tumor.transplantable murine tumors, such as the squamous cell carcinoma growing in c3h mice, include a significant proportion of normal cells. the nature of these cells, their locations relative to the blood supply, their oxygenation status, and ability to incorporate 3h-thymidine were examined by sorting cells staining positive or negative with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat antimouse igg. of the cells that were recovered from this tumor, 39% +/- 19 (n = 25) were igg+ cells, and this perc ...19892639726
functional homology of virulence plasmids in salmonella gallinarum, s. pullorum, and s. typhimurium.the virulence-associated plasmids of strains of salmonella gallinarum and s. pullorum were transferred separately by mobilization with the f plasmid into virulence plasmid-cured derivatives of s. gallinarum, s. pullorum, and s. typhimurium and into a prototrophic escherichia coli k-12 strain. the transconjugants were tested for virulence in chickens of different ages and in mice. the s. gallinarum and s. pullorum plasmids were able to restore full virulence in the three salmonella strains, thus ...19892674016
effect of salmonella gallinarum infection on zinc metabolism in chicks.the effect of salmonella gallinarum infection in chicks on serum, liver, and kidney zinc concentrations was studied. within 48 h after intraperitoneal administration of the organism, serum zinc declined to approximately one-half the control value. in one experiment, the serum zinc concentration remained low for the 12 days of the experiment, whereas in a second experiment, the concentration gradually increased after 6 days postinoculation but never returned to the control value. feeding as much ...19892704684
[salmonella gallinarum field isolates of the biovars pullorum and gallinarum].in 40 cases salmonellae of the serovar salmonella (s.) gallinarum were culturally isolated from domesticated gallinaceous birds submitted for diagnostic purposes in the period of 1979-1989. on the basis of the cultural and biochemical features found 35 of them could be assigned to the biovar pullorum and 5 to the biovar gallinarum. of 35 isolates of the biovar pullorum, 29 were isolated from pure bred chickens of small fancy-exhibition type flocks, 4 from floor-housed adult brown hybrid laying h ...19892764874
feasibility of using proteins from salmonella gallinarum vs. 9r live vaccine for the prevention of fowl typhoid in chickens.proteins from a field strain of salmonella gallinarum msg1 were compared with 9r live vaccine strain for their protection against experimental fowl typhoid in chickens. proteins from s. gallinarum gave better protection than the 9r live vaccine as measured by clearance of challenge organism from internal organs. proteins given twice with an adjuvant at 200 micrograms/100 g body weight resulted in 95% protection, compared with 60% protection with 9r given orally. the 9r live vaccine produced more ...19892775089
[salmonella gallinarum biovar gallinarum as the cause of a highly acute septicemic disease in adult laying hens kept in battery cages].early in the summer of 1988 two flocks each of them consisted of about 7500 brown laying hens of a heavy hybrid line were affected by fowl typhoid. the birds have been bought at the age of 20 weeks and housed in two buildings placed close together in one farm. the disease started in flock i at the age of 26 weeks and in flock ii at the age of 36 weeks. in repeated trials amoxicillin was effective in the treatment of fowl typhoid when given in the drinking water for ad libitum consumption over a ...19892791912
effects of intra- and extracellularly applied phospholipases c on excitability of squid giant axons.the effects of phospholipases c on the membrane excitability of the squid giant axon were investigated using phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase c and sphingomyelinase c of bacillus cereus, and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase c of bacillus thuringiensis. when the squid axon was perfused internally with phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase c in kf or k-glutamate solution, the action potential was blocked in 4-7 min and membrane resistance decreased with time to a le ...19862877512
amino acid sequence of up1, an hnrnp-derived single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein from calf thymus.the up1 single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein from calf thymus (herrick, g. & alberts, b.m. (1976) j. biol. chem. 251, 2124-2132) has recently been shown to be a proteolytic fragment derived from the a1 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnrnp) (pandolfo et al. (1985) nucleic acids res. 13, 6577-6590). the nh2-terminus of the 22,162 dalton up1 protein appears to be blocked, which suggests that up1 represents the nh2-terminal two thirds of this 32,000 dalton hnrnp protein. the comple ...19873032834
