J.S. Rothel, SL JONES, L.A. Corner, John C. Cox, P.R. Wood
SUMMARY An in vitro cellular assay for bovine tuberculosis has recently been developed. This assay detects gamma‐interferon released in response to specific antigen in a whole blood culture system. The bio‐assay previously described for the detection of bovine gamma‐interferon (IFN‐γ) has now been replaced with a sandwich enzyme immunoassay...... hiện toàn bộ

Reduced quality of bovine embryos cultured in media conditioned by exposure to an inflamed endometrium Tập 86 Số 8 - Trang 312-316 - 2008
Jonathan R. Hill, R.O. Gilbert
Objective A suboptimal uterine environment contributes to the bovine repeat breeder syndrome. Subclinical endometritis is a component, so the mechanism by which inflammation affects embryo survival was investigated by assessing the effect of non‐cellular products of an inflamed endometrium on embryo development to blastocyst.Design ... hiện toàn bộ
