Article Abstract

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) isolated from the water buffalo resulted in the activation of TLR signaling intermediates as supported by the western blot of pERK. Activation of ERK resulted in phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha which lead to its degradation which in turn followed by nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB, which is also supported by the western blot analysis. The nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB culminated in the induction of mRNA expression of TNF-alpha. Thus this study demonstrates the TLR signaling in PBMCs of water buffalo which is as similar to that reported earlier in mice and human beings.

Introduction: Inflammation is a vital immune response, tightly orchestrated through both biochemical and biophysical cues. Dysregulated inflammation contributes to chronic diseases, highlighting the need for novel therapies that modulate immune responses with minimal side effects. While several biochemical pathways of inflammation are well understood, the influence of physical properties such as substrate curvature on immune cell behavior remains underexplored.

Developing an effective vaccine for haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) in cattle and buffaloes is urgently needed. While preferred for their safety, achieving sufficient, cross-protective, and long-lasting immunity is still challenging when administering inactivated vaccines. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of four inactivating components comprising three inactivating agents: (1) Binary ethylenimine (BEI), (2) Formalin, (3) a combination of BEI and Formalin, and (4) Hydrogen peroxide (HO), in inactivating Pasteurella multocida to enhance HS vaccine potency.

Surra and Dourine are widespread diseases caused by two protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei evansi and Trypanosoma brucei equiperdum, respectively. A wide range of animals including camels, horses, cattle and buffaloes are susceptible to infection. These diseases pose a significant socio-economic burden, primarily due to the limited therapeutic options and the complications associated with toxicity and drug resistance, making disease management particularly challenging.
