General Trends of the Camelidae Antibody VHHs Domain Dynamics [PDF]
Conformational flexibility plays an essential role in antibodies’ functional and structural stability. They facilitate and determine the strength of antigen–antibody interactions. Camelidae express an interesting subtype of single-chain antibody, named Heavy Chain only Antibody. They have only one N-terminal Variable domain (VHH) per chain, composed of

Safety of a feed additive consisting of <i>Duddingtonia flagrans</i>NCIMB 30336 (BioWorma®) for all grazing animals (International Animal Health Products Pty Ltd). [PDF]
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of a feed additive consisting of Duddingtonia flagrans NCIMB 30336 (BioWorma®) for all grazing animals other than dairy bovines, ovines and caprines (namely ...

REPRODUCTION IN CAMELIDAE [PDF]
Sexual activity in Camelidae appears to be acyclic and ovulation is induced by copulation. The duration of sexual activity is variable. When a rutting season exists, it is probably elicited by influences similar to those which induce the advent of oestrus in the female. The pattern of the reproductive cycle appears to relate to the harsh environment in

Restriction site patterns in the ribosomal DNA of Camelidae [PDF]
The restriction map of rDNA from South American camelids and the Bactrian camel was analyzed by digestion of high-molecular-weight DNA with endonucleases EcoRI,BamHI and the two combined followed by Southern blot hybridization with probes for the 18S and 28S rDNA sequences.

A Deadly Cargo: Gene Repertoire of Cytotoxic Effector Proteins in the Camelidae [PDF]
Cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells can kill target cells based on their expression and release of perforin, granulysin, and granzymes. Genes encoding these molecules have been only poorly annotated in camelids. Based on bioinformatic analyses of genomic resources, sequences corresponding to perforin, granulysin, and granzymes were identified in

Development of nanobodies against the coat protein of maize chlorotic mottle virus. [PDF]
Accurate detection of plant diseases is crucial for their effective control, and nanobodies are an attractive alternative for the development of sensitive and accurate diagnostic plant pathogen tools. We developed and tested the use of nanobodies for the detection of maize chlorotic mottle virus, which causes maize lethal necrosis disease. Maize lethal

Role, distribution and perspective of camel breeding in the third millennium economies [PDF]
Although, it is occupying quantitavely a marginal place among the domestic herbivorous (0.4% only of the world domestic herbivorous), the large camelids (dromedary and Bactrian) are present in almost all the arid lands of the old world (except in ...
