Establishment and evaluation of a bead-based luminex assay allowing simultaneous quantification of equine IL-12 and IFN-γ. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) are key cytokines in immunemediated equine melanoma therapy. Currently, a method for accurate simultaneous quantification of these equine cytokines is lacking. Therefore, we sought to establish an assay that allows for accurate and simultaneous quantification of equine IL-12 (eIL-12) and IFN-γ (eIFN-γ). Methods: Several antibodies were evaluated for cross-reactivity to eIL-12 and eIFN-γ and were used to establish a bead-based Luminex assay, which was subsequently applied to quantify cytokine concentrations in biological samples. Results: ...
Equine sarcoid tumour treated by autogenous tumour vaccine. Twenty-one horses with sarcoid tumours were treated by bio-immunotherapy using autogenous vaccines during 1991-1997. At operation the base of the tumour was left in the skin and autovaccines were made from extirpated tumour tissue by polymerization. The horses thus formed their own internal control group. One of 12 horses having a primary tumour, and four of 9 horses suffering recurrent tumours, prior to bio-immunotherapy, developed single recurrences. Four of these five horses suffering recurrence were treated anew, leading to remission. Disease-free intervals were longer for primary (P = 0.0...
Helicobacter pylori in animals affecting the human habitat through the food chain. Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the causative agent of many gastrointestinal diseases. Horses, calves, pigs, rabbits, and chickens were evaluated for HP presence, and the pathogenetic effect on their gastric mucosa. The large-sized animals all resulted positive. No positive cases were observed in rabbits and chickens. Chronic inflammatory response to the infection with the development of acquired lymphoid tissue associated to the mucosa was revealed. The recognition of HP in animals living near the human habitat such as animals for slaughter and for technical zootechnic and alimentary use, before ...
