Development of a colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip with enhanced signal for the detection of bovine parvovirus.

Bovine parvovirus (BPV) is a pathogen responsible for respiratory and digestive tract symptoms in calves and abortion and stillbirth in pregnant cows. In this study, we developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic (GICG) strip with an enhanced signal for detecting BPV according to the double-antibody sandwich principle and an enzyme-based signal amplification system to amplify the signal. This system utilizes horseradish peroxidase reacting with a substrate solution containing 3,3',5,5-tetramethylbenzidine and dextran sulfate to obtain insoluble blue products on the test and control lines.

Efficacy Assessment of Phage Therapy in Treating -Induced Mastitis in Mice.

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of phage against mastitis induced by drug-resistant in a mouse model. In this study, five phages-4086-1, 4086-2, 4086-3, 4086-4, and 4086-6-were isolated from milk samples secreted by mastitis cows. Transmission electron microscopy showed that all the five phages had icosahedral heads and short non-contractile tails, which are typical characteristics of the family Podoviridae.

Isolation and Characterization of Bovine RVA from Northeast China, 2017-2020.

Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) are major enteric pathogens causing infections in calves. To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and genetic diversity of bovine rotavirus (BRV), 233 fecal samples were collected from calves with diarrhea in northeast China. The samples were analyzed for sequences encoding the inner capsid protein VP6 (subgroup) and the outer capsid proteins VP7 and VP4 (G and P type, respectively) using RT-PCR.

Simultaneous Detection of Bovine Rotavirus, Bovine Parvovirus, and Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Using a Gold Nanoparticle-Assisted PCR Assay With a Dual-Priming Oligonucleotide System.

Bovine rotavirus (BRV), bovine parvovirus (BPV), and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are the pathogens that cause diarrhea primarily in newborn calves. A mixed infection of BRV, BPV, and BVDV makes clinical diagnosis difficult. In this study, we designed dual-priming oligonucleotide (DPO) primers the VP6 gene of BRV, VP2 gene of BPV, and 5'UTR gene of BVDV and synthesized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with an average diameter of 10 nm.

Development of a Colloidal Gold Immunochromatographic Strip Assay for Rapid Detection of Bovine Rotavirus.

Bovine rotavirus (BRV) is one of main pathogens responsible for diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. In this study, we developed a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for detecting BRV according to the principle of double-antibody sandwich. The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were prepared and purified.

Construction of Lactobacillus casei ghosts by Holin-mediated inactivation and the potential as a safe and effective vehicle for the delivery of DNA vaccines.

Background: Bacterial ghosts (BGs) are empty bacterial cell envelopes generated by releasing the cellular contents. In this study, a phage infecting Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 (L. casei 393) was isolated and designated Lcb.

Recombinant Lactobacillus casei expressing Clostridium perfringens toxoids α, β2, ε and β1 gives protection against Clostridium perfringens in rabbits.

The present study used Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 as antigen delivery system to express C. perfringens toxoids α-β2-ε-β1 to construct the recombination Lactobacillus casei pPG-2-α-β2-ε-β1/L. casei 393.
