    Keywords : PCV2; disease transmission; livestock-wildlife; emerging infectious diseases EID ; sjukdomstransmission; vilda djur – tamdjur; EID; Uganda;

    Abstract : Uganda anses vara ett högriskland för utveckling av nya plötsligt uppdykande sjukdomar (emerging infectious diseases, EID). Grisproduktionen i Uganda har ökat drastiskt de senaste åren och en stor del av Ugandas grisar är frigående. De kan därför lätt komma i kontakt med vilda djur i deras närområde. READ MORE

  6. 5. Immunostimulatory DNA : studies on the importance of secondary structure formation and CpG-motifs for IFN-alpha induction/inhibition using ODNs related to the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Josefine Elving; [2006]
    Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; secondary structure; inhibitory; PCR; ODN;

    Abstract : Nucleotide sequences containing CpG-motifs are recognized as immunomodulators in pigs among other species. Phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), such as ODN H, have been demonstrated to be potent inducers of interferon-alpha (INF-alpha) in porcine blood mononuclear cells (poPBMC) provided they are pre-treated with Lipofectin®.
