新城疫病毒F48E9株M和NP基因的原核表达

根据新城疫病毒（NDV）F48E9国内标准强毒株编码序列设计了2对特异性引物,分别用于扩增M和NP基因。经序列测定,将其克隆到原核表达载体pET-30a（＋）上,转化E．coliBL21（DE3）,筛选表达NDVF48E9株M蛋白和NP蛋白的菌株。IPTG诱导表达后,SDS-PAGE分析结果表明,NDVM蛋白在E．coliBL21（DE3）内以可溶形式存在,而NP蛋白以包涵体的形式表达。用纯化的M和NP蛋白免疫鸡制备超免疫血清,进行Western-blot分析;结果,它们可以与真核表达系统表达的M和NP蛋白以及NDV发生特异性反应,表明,原核表达系统表达的NDVM和NP蛋白具有良好的免疫原性和反应原性。     

mRNA技术及其在动物疫病研究中的应用进展

mRNA技术是一种将人工合成的mRNA分子引入细胞内,并利用细胞自身的翻译机制将其翻译成蛋白质的技术。作为一种新兴的生物技术,mRNA技术已经在疫苗研究、基因治疗等多个领域取得了重要进展,并在新冠预防和传染病防治方面进行了临床应用,展现出了广阔的应用前景。通过对mRNA技术的发展历程,mRNA疫苗的设计、递送及特点,以及其在动物疫病研究的进展予以综述,分析其存在的问题,展望今后的发展方向,为相关研究提供参考。     

奶牛肢蹄病的原因及防治措施

奶牛体重大,肢蹄部作为奶牛日常活动的重要支撑器官,容易发生变形、跛行和蹄裂等。笔者结合自身工作经验,从季节、营养、生产、管理因素分析奶牛肢蹄病的发病原因,对养殖场常见的腐蹄病、蹄叶炎和局限性蹄皮炎临床症状进行概述,并总结了奶牛肢蹄病的局部和全身治疗方案,提出科学选址和建场、制定护蹄保健制度、合理搭配营养和定期进行药浴4种预防肢蹄病的措施,供同行交流参考。     

中西药综合防治牛前胃疾病研究

现代养牛中前胃疾病是制约牛产业发展的一类重要内科疾病,特别是舍饲半舍饲状态下,肉牛、奶牛、育肥牛较为常见。笔者通过长期兽医临床实践、查阅相关文献、结合传统中医学理论,就牛常见前胃疾病定义、发病原因、症候群展开论述、典型案例介绍,提出了相应预防和控制措施。采用西兽药、中兽药、中西兽药联合用药,缩短治疗周期,达到标本兼治,降低经济损失。     

Circulating melanin-containing cells and neutrophils with phagocytized melanin granules in a horse with disseminated melanoma

An 18-year-old, grey, Thoroughbred Cross gelding was referred to the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University following a 3-week history of low-grade fever of unknown origin, distal limb swelling, and weight loss. Clinical examination identified a few black, round, smooth nodules along the ventral aspect of the proximal tail. Transabdominal ultrasound showed a markedly enlarged heterogenous spleen, hyperechoic liver nodules, and evidence of peritonitis with fibrin deposition. A mature neutrophilia was noted on complete blood count with variable numbers of phagocytized granules within neutrophils. The granules did not stain with Perl's Prussian blue, and were intensely positive when stained with Fontana-Mason, consistent with melanin. On necropsy, the spleen occupied approximately one-third of the abdominal cavity and was diffusely firm with abundant black pigment on cut section. The medullary space of the 18th thoracic vertebra was also diffusely blackened. The splenic, mediastinal, and tracheobronchial lymph nodes were five times the normal size and diffusely pigmented. The final anatomic diagnosis was disseminated malignant melanoma with extensive splenic involvement and hemolymphatic and vascular neoplastic dissemination. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first full report to identify circulating neutrophils containing phagocytized melanin granules, which confirmed an antemortem diagnosis of disseminated melanoma.
