DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIRECT ELISA FOR DETECTING HUMORAL IMMUNODOMINANT PROTEINS OF MYCOPLASMA HYOPNEUMONIAE WHICH CAN DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN INACTIVATED BACTERIN-INDUCED HYPERIMMUNE SERA AND CONVALESCENT SERA

Development of an indirect ELISA for detecting humoral immunodominant proteins of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae which can discriminate between inactivated bacterin-induced hyperimmune sera and convalescent sera

Abstract Background Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.hyopneumoniae) is the primary pathogen of porcine enzootic pneumonia, which has been associated with economic losses due to reduced daily weight gain and feed efficiency.Although it has a small genome and no more than 1000 genes, M.hyopneumoniae can be cultured in cell free media.However, some protein

A Comparative Analysis of the Physico-Chemical Properties of Pectin Isolated from the Peels of Seven Different Citrus Fruits

In the present research work, pectin was isolated from the peels of seven citrus fruits (Citrus limon, Citrus limetta, Citrus sinensis, Citrus maxima, Citrus jambhiri, Citrus sudachi, and Citrus hystrix) for a comparison of its physicochemical parameters and its potential use as a thickening agent, gelling agent, and food ingredient in food industr
