Detection of antibodies to Cowdria ruminantium in the serum of domestic ruminants by indirect ELISA [PDF]
Un test ELISA a été mis au point pour la détection d'anticorps contre Cowdria ruminantium dans le sérum de ruminants domestiques. Les micro-organismes cultivés dans des cellules bovines endothéliales ombilicales ont été utilisés comme antigène.

Propagation de parasites transportés avec leurs hôtes : cas exemplaires de deux espèces de tiques du bétail [PDF]
Les tiques, comme tous les parasites, peuvent facilement être disséminées avec leurs hôtes. Parasites obligatoires de vertébrés auxquels elles sont fixées pendant une période plus ou moins longue, elles sont bien adaptées à ce mode de transport. Une fois

Cofactor Fingerprinting with STD NMR to Characterize Proteins of Unknown Function: Identification of a Rare cCMP Cofactor Preference [PDF]
Proteomics efforts have created a need for better strategies to functionally categorize newly discovered proteins. To this end, we have employed saturation transfer difference NMR with pools of closely related cofactors, to determine cofactor preferences.
