Bovine tracheal submucosal gland serous cells were cultured in medium supplemented with either 10% fetal calf serum or 2% Ultroser G, a commercial serum substitute for cell culture. The proteins synthesized and secreted into the culture medium during [35S]methionine pulse, chase and isoproterenol-stimulated periods were analyzed. Marked differences in the patterns of secretory radiolabeled proteins with Mr values ranging from 15,000 to 95,000 were observed between pulse and chase media of cells cultured in fetal calf serum and Ultroser G. In the presence of Ultroser G, albumin-like protein production was inhibited 95% as compared to cultures incubated with fetal calf serum. A bovine lysozyme-type enzymatic activity was detected only in medium from stimulated cells cultured in Ultroser G. The results suggest that bovine tracheal serous cells synthesize different proteins according to the composition of culture medium and release certain proteins when adrenergically stimulated.

In vitro three-dimensional organoid models simulate key aspects of the structure and function of in vivo organs and have been used to study physiology, host-pathogen interactions, pathogenesis and pharmacodynamics. Although most organoid studies have been developed using human or mouse tissues, recent advancements have enabled the establishment of intestinal and respiratory tract organoids from domestic animal samples. Mycoplasma bovis causes chronic respiratory tract infections in cattle with significant health and economic consequences.

Interferon-αs (IFN-αs) are crucial cytokines for inducing protective antiviral responses. The baculovirus-mediated gene transduction of mammalian cells (BacMam) is an efficient delivery tool for recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells. This study focuses on the delivery of bovine IFN-α (BoIFNα) using the BacMam system.

Background: Total laryngectomy is an essential surgical intervention in the management of advanced laryngeal carcinoma. However, anatomical variations such as the bovine arch can complicate this procedure. The atypical branching pattern of the bovine arch may position major vessels closer to the tracheostomy site, increasing the risk of tracheo-arterial fistulization.

() is capable of causing pneumonia, arthritis, mastitis, and various other ailments in cattle of all age groups, posing a significant threat to the healthy progression of the worldwide cattle industry. The invasion of non-phagocytic host cells serves as a pivotal mechanism enabling to evade the immune system and penetrate mucosal barriers, thereby promoting its spread. To investigate the differences in invasion into four types of non-phagocytic cells (Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, embryonic bovine lung (EBL) cells, bovine embryo tracheal (EBTr) cells and bovine turbinate (BT) cells) and further elucidate its invasion mechanism, this study first optimized the experimental methods for invasion into cells.
