ABSTRACT

Effects of selenium (Se) and diazinon (DZN) on sperm motility parameters in rats were investigated. Male rats received a separate dose of Se (2mgkg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, 5mgL-1, per os in drinking water), diazinon (20mgkg-1 b.w., intraperitoneally, 40mgL-1, per os in drinking water), and in combination (Se+DZN) with the same dosage as in the separate administration. 36h an intraperitoneal (i.p.) and after 90days of per oral (p.o.) exposure, thirteen parameters of sperm motility were evaluated using a Computer Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA). Almost all the evaluated sperm motility parameters significantly decreased in Se p.o. exposed groups. In the Se i.p. group decrease was noted only in beat cross frequency (BCF) and progressive motility. Significant decline in the sperm motility, progressive motility, BCF and increase in amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH) were recorded after DZN i.p. administration. In DZN p.o. group, significant increase in ALH, velocity average path (VAP) and curvilinear velocity (VCL) but decrease in progressive motility and BCF was detected. Se+DZN i.p. administration caused a significant decrease in motility, progressive motility and BCF. Per oral administration of Se+DZN decreased all motility parameters except LIN, WOB and ALH. Sperm abnormalities increased in all experimental conditions. Se and DZN negatively affected sperm structure and function in separate doses or in combination. No protective effect of Se was observed.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this research was to study the expression of cell membrane molecules CD9 and CD41/61 of transgenic rabbit with integrated human factor VIII (rhFVIII) gene construct. The expressions of these molecules have been monitored during two lactations of transgenic rabbits and simultaneously compared with the expression of the same molecules of non-transgenic rabbits. The immunochemical analysis by indirect immunofluorescence, ELISA and indirect immunoperoxidase staining of blood cells and udder tissues show that the insertion of the WAP-hFVIII gene construct into the rabbit genome, do not influence the expression of cell membrane antigens CD9 and CD41/61 on the blood platelets, polymorphonuclear blood cells, milk somatic cells and mammary gland tissues.

ABSTRACT

The cattle V antigen from the FV blood group system was characterized. Hemolytic as well as immunochemical analyses with monoclonal antibody (MAb) IVA-41 found that V antigen of bovine red blood cells is a membrane-bound, papain- and pronase-sensitive, trypsin- and chymotrypsin-resistant N-glycosylated sialoglyco-protein with molecular weight of 64, 56, and 50 kDa under no reduction and 23 kDa under reduction conditions. In contrary to some human blood group antigens, the expression of bovine blood group V antigen is restricted to the erythrocyte membrane.

ABSTRACT

Monoclonal antibody IVA-285 (IgG1 isotype) recognizing antigenic determinant on bovine and ovine immunoglobulin light chain was produced and characterized. Western blot analysis of bovine immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) purified from bovine blood serum as well as whole immunoglobulin fractions of bovine and ovine serum with IVA-285 showed a molecular weight in the 24-27 kd range corresponding to the Ig light chain of bovine Ig. IVA-285 recognizes the Ig light chain on Ig+ lymphocyte subpopulation and in the majority of body fluids; however, especially strong reactions were observed in bovine tissues (lymph node follicles, plasma cells, and Ig deposits in various tissues).

ABSTRACT

The influence of UV-B radiation on embryonic development of chickens Hampshire breed was investigated. The set eggs with the average weight of 60.0 +/- 0.5 g were divided into six groups. The chickens in the control group C were hatched in the darkness. The chicken embryos in experimental groups were, during their incubation, influenced by UV light: in E1 (1 h a day), in E2 (2h a day), in E3 (3 h a day), in E4 (4 h a day), and in E5 (5 h a day). After the experiment, we can state that UV radiation appealing on chickens embryos of shorter time (1-2 h) was reflected in decreasing embryonic mortality in experimental group E1 (1.27 +/- 0.14%), the embryonic development was accelerated and the weight of hatched chickens was increased in group E2 (492.43 +/- 5.02 h and 47.83 +/- 2.62 g, respectively). The negative influence of UV radiation was reflected while it is longer appealing on chickens embryos (for 3-5 h), mainly by increased embryonic mortality in groups E3 (10.27 +/- 1.65%), E4 (58.09 +/- 3.12%), and E5 (100.00 +/- 0.00%). The results obtained are highly significant (p<0.001) in comparison with a control group C, as well as, with the experimental groups E1 and E2.
