Effects of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae hemolysin on porcine neutrophil function [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 In an attempt to gain insight into the events that take place during Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infection, the present study was designed to ascertain the effects of bacterial toxicity on porcine neutrophil functions and viability. Incubation of phagocytes (2 x 10(6)) with opsonized A.

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Background Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (AP) is the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia. Apx exotoxins are the most important virulence factors associated with the induction of lesions. ApxI is highly cytotoxic on a wide range of cells.

Associations between EP-like lesions and pleuritis and post trimming carcass weights of finishing pigs in England [PDF]
, 2017 Herd health slaughter checks regularly identify enzootic pneumonia-like (EP-like) lesions and pleuritis. The aim of this paper is to determine the associations between these lesions and post-trimming carcass weight.

Porcine CD18 mediatesActinobacillus pleuropneumoniaeApxIII species-specific toxicity [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2009 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, produces Apx toxins that are recognized as major virulence factors. Recently, we showed that ApxIIIA-cytotoxic activity specifically targets Sus scrofa leukocytes. Since both LtxA from Aggregatibacter actinomycetem comitans (aggressive periodontitis in humans) and LktA ...

Efficacy evaluation of combination vaccine of recombinant C-terminal fragments of ApxIA, ApxIIA and ApxIIIA in piglets [PDF]
, 2017 The efficacy of the combination vaccine of the individual C-terminal fragments of ApxIA, ApxIIA and ApxIIIA of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) was evaluated in piglets. Twenty piglets were divided equally into 2 groups (n=10).
