RNAase P (EC 3.1.26.5) activity has been identified in chick embryo thigh tissue on the basis of specific cleavage of Escherichia coli 129 nucleotide tRNATyr precursor and has been partially purified by the procedure used for human tissue culture KB cell RNAase P. RNAase P from chick resembles the KB cell RNAase P in substrate specificity, requirement for a divalent cation (Mg2+) and a monovalent cation (K+, Na+ or NH4+) for activity, inhibition by bulk tRNA, ready inactivation by proteases, and increasing instability; with purification. RNAase P activity is also present in whole chick embryos, as well as in liver and heart tissues. Furthermore, crude preparations of RNAase P from chick embryo heart tissue are relatively free of contaminating nucleases.

Autoradiography of Intracerebral Tumours in the Chick Embryo Model: A Feasibility Study Using Different PET Tracers.

Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-4; INM-5; INM-11), Forschungszentrum Jülich, 52425, Jülich, Germany.
Purpose: In addition to rodent models, the chick embryo model has gained attention for radiotracer evaluation. Previous studies have investigated tumours on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), but its value for radiotracer imaging of intracerebral tumours has yet to be demonstrated.
Procedures: Human U87 glioblastoma cells and U87-IDH1 mutant glioma cells were implanted into the brains of chick embryos at developmental day 5.
Quantitative accuracy of preclinical in ovo PET/MRI: influence of attenuation and quantification methods.

Aim: The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an innovation leap in the use of fertilized chicken eggs (in ovo model) in preclinical imaging as PET/MRI enables the investigation of the chick embryonal organ-specific distribution of PET-tracers. However, hybrid PET/MRI inheres technical challenges in quantitative in ovo PET such as attenuation correction (AC) for the object as well as for additional hardware parts present in the PET field-of-view, which potentially contribute to quantification biases in the PET images if not accounted for. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the different sources of attenuation on in ovo PET/MRI and assess the accuracy of MR-based AC for in ovo experiments.

Background: Broiler chickens are most vulnerable immediately after hatching due to their immature immune systems, making them susceptible to infectious diseases. The yolk plays an important role in early immune defence by showing relevant antioxidant and passive immunity capabilities during broiler embryonic development. The immunomodulatory effects of phytogenic compound carvacrol have been widely reported.

Modern management of chicks hinders the vertical transmission of intestinal microbiota, which is closely related to immunity. Inulin is a substrate that can be utilized by the microbiota. This study aimed to determine whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) combined with inulin played a "1+1>2" role in enhancing the development and function of immune organs.
