In vitro potency test for evaluation of Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxoid
The control of enterotoxemia caused by the epsilon toxin, produced by Clostridium perfringenstype D, is based on vaccination with epsilon toxoid. The potency test for this immunogen is conducted using seroneutralization in mice.

Noncrystalline uric acid inhibits proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in distal tubular epithelial cells (MDCK) [PDF]
Hyperuricemia is associated with renal stones, not only consisting of uric acid (UrAc) but also of calcium oxalate (CaOx). Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are well-known inhibitors of growth and aggregation of CaOx crystals.

Development of an Enhanced High-Yield Influenza Vaccine Backbone in Embryonated Chicken Eggs
Vaccination is an efficient approach to preventing influenza virus infections. Recently, we developed influenza A and B virus vaccine backbones that increased the yield of several vaccine viruses in Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and African green ...

Host Adaptation and the Alteration of Viral Properties of the First Influenza A/H1N1pdm09 Virus Isolated in Japan. [PDF]
A/Narita/1/2009 (A/N) was the first H1N1 virus from the 2009 pandemic (H1pdm) to be isolated in Japan. To better understand and predict the possible development of this virus strain, the effect of passaging A/N was investigated in Madin-Darby canine ...

pH-induced microtubule-dependent redistribution of late endosomes in neuronal and epithelial cells [PDF]
The interaction between late endocytic structures and microtubules in polarized cells was studied using a procedure previously shown to cause microtubule-dependent redistribution of lysosomes in fibroblasts and macrophages (Heuser, J. 1989. J. Cell Biol.

Susceptibility of the C2 canine mastocytoma cell line to the effects of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) [PDF]
In the context of bipartite bosonic systems, two notions of classicality of correlations can be defined: P-classicality, based on the properties of the Glauber-Sudarshan P-function; and C-classicality, based on the entropic quantum discord.

Characterization of Zn2+ transport in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells
The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanism implicated in Zn(2+) transport in MDCK cells. Trace elements such as Zn(2+), Cd(2+) or Cu(2+) induced MDCK cell depolarization at the micromolar level as demonstrated by bis-oxonol fluorescence and whole-cell patch experiments.
