Prolactin: A Key Immunoregulator in Viral Infections and Autoimmune Diseases
Prolactin (PRL) is secreted by various cells in the anterior pituitary gland, mammary glands, placenta, uterus, ovaries, testes, skin, adipose tissue, endothelial cells, immune system, and central nervous system. The expression and secretion of PRL are influenced by several factors such as suckling, thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH), cytokines ...

Pathology and Molecular Diagnosis of Marek’s Disease Virus in Chickens in Nigeria
Marek’s disease caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV) serotype 1 is an economically important neoplastic disease of poultry. Diagnosis of this disease is usually based on clinical signs, postmortem lesions, and diagnostic tests like cytology, histopathology, and molecular‐based methods.

Rodent models of tumours of the central nervous system
We describe the evolution of experimental systems, illustrated here in a timeline to show changing popularity over time. Starting with chemical and viral carcinogenesis, systems then developed into increasingly sophisticated genetically modified animal models.

Detection of ALV p27 in cloacal swabs and virus isolation medium by sELISA
Background Avian leukosis (AL), which is caused by avian leukosis virus (ALV), has led to substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. The kit used to detect all ALV-positive chickens in breeder flocks is very important for efficiently ...

Mapping the tail fiber as the receptor binding protein responsible for differential host specificity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophages PaP1 and JG004. [PDF]
The first step in bacteriophage infection is recognition and binding to the host receptor, which is mediated by the phage receptor binding protein (RBP). Different RBPs can lead to differential host specificity.

Establishment of an avian leukosis virus subgroup A-resistant cell line
Rapid diagnostic methods for classifying avian leukosis subgroups in the field were needed for routine, large-scale screening. As a first step in method development, we inserted the avian leukosis virus subgroup A (ALV-A) env gene into plasmid pcDNA3.1 ...
