Evaluation of an Immunoturbidometric Assay for Measurement of Total Adiponectin Concentration in Equine Serum Samples

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Total adiponectin (TA) is a marker of metabolic health in equids, with values below a critical decision point of < 7.9 μg/mL conferring increased risk of laminitis. Objectives To evaluate an IT assay to measure serum [TA] in equids and to assess its correlation with [high molecular weight adiponectin] (HMWA) measured by ELISA ...

Evaluation of the Analytical Performance of a Lateral Flow Assay for the Detection of Anti-Coccidioides Antibodies in Human Sera—Argentina

Journal of Fungi
Coccidiomycosis is a potentially life-threatening fungal infection endemic to certain regions of Argentina. The infection is caused by Coccidioides spp. and is primarily diagnosed by Coccidioides antibody (Ab) detection.

Clinically relevant intra‐articular corticosteroid doses impair equine osteoclast function in vitro

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To assess the effects of clinically relevant doses of commonly employed intra‐articular corticosteroids—specifically, triamcinolone acetonide (TCA), methylprednisolone acetate (MPA), and combination of betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate (BM)—on equine osteoclasts.

Avian IgY antibodies: characteristics and applications in immunodiagnostic

Ciência Rural, 2014
Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major antibody isotype in birds, reptiles, amphibia, and lungfish, playing a similar biological role as mammal IgG. Due to its phylogenetic distance, immune diversification and presence in the egg yolk, IgY provide a number ...

Protein A/G-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of anti-Pythium insidiosum antibodies in human and animal subjects

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objectives Pythiosis is a deadly infectious disease caused by Pythium insidiosum. Reports of both human and animal pythiosis are on the rise worldwide. Prognosis of the pythiosis patients relies on early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

Towards an immunodiagnostic test for leprosy

Microbes and Infection, 2006
In addition to multidrug therapy, elimination of leprosy requires improved diagnostic methods. Using a comparative genomics approach, 17 potential protein antigens (MLP) that are restricted to Mycobacterium leprae, or of limited distribution, were produced and tested for antigen-specific immune responses on leprosy patients, healthy contacts of leprosy

Effects of 14 days of head‐down bed rest with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bed rest accelerates bone loss and may exacerbate skeletal fragility. This study examined the effects of 14 days of head‐down tilt bed rest (HDBR) with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery, on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults. Twenty‐two healthy older adults (55–65 years) completed the HDBR protocol.

BODIPY‐based J‐aggregates: From supramolecular chemistry to NIR bioimaging and phototherapies

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, Volume 47, Issue 8, Page 951-982, August 2026.
BODIPY dyes form ordered J‐aggregates through controlled supramolecular self‐assembly, producing narrow, red‐shifted absorption bands with small Stokes shifts. This review highlights design strategies governing J‐aggregation, structure–property relationships, and applications in sensing, bioimaging, and phototherapy, guiding functional BODIPY‐based ...
