Cortisol and free thyroxine determination by time-resolved fluorometry in canine serum.

Validation for canine serum of 2 commercially available fluoroimmunoassays time-resolved (TR-FIAS) is designed for analysis of cortisol and free thyroxine (FT4) in human serum do. Included is the study of interference by hemolysis, lipemia, and bilirubinemia. By dissociation enhancement lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay kit, intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 6.4% to 8.7% for cortisol and from 5.3% to 9.8% for the FT4; Interassay CVs ranged from 5.8% to 10.8% and from 3.9% to 14.1%, respectively. 

Accuracy was evaluated by Mouse Plasma comparing cortisol and FT4 results obtained with TR-FIA and obtained by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay validated (ELISA) and equilibrium dialysis (ED) assay, respectively. The regression equation obtained y = 0.57x + 1:18 (r2 = 0.90) for cortisol and y = 0.87x + 0.82 (r2 = 0.93) for FT4.

 The limit of detection for cortisol and FT4 was 4.84 nmol / L and 2.68 pmol / L, respectively. Results adrenocorticotropin-stimulation and dexamethasone-suppression test similar to that published previously; Also, the dog serum sample dilution series with a high content of cortisol showed that the TR-FIA is immunologically specific. 

Serial dilutions of serum samples with high concentrations of FT4 show methodologic bias, reliance on the binding capacity of serum, indicating that the results obtained with this method should be interpreted with caution. Finally, hemolysis and lipemia significantly interfere with cortisol and FT4 measurement, while bilirubinemia not affect the results.

LipL32 recombinant antigen-based single serum dilution ELISA for detection of canine leptospirosis.


An antigen-based single serum dilution of recombinant enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure the activity of specific antibodies in the serum of dogs with leptospirosis. Recombinant antigen developed and used in the assay was specific to pathogenic serovar of Leptospira. 

A linear relationship was found Mouse Serum to exist between antibody titers predicted in a single working dilution of 1: 1000 and corresponding serum titer was observed as determined by serial-dilution method standard. Regression analysis was used to determine the standard curve from which the equation can be derived which allows the demonstration of correlation mentioned. 

This equation is then used to convert the corrected absorbance reading of a single working dilution directly into the ELISA antibody titers predicted. This test proved to be a sensitive, specific and accurate compared with standard microscopic agglutination test (MAT).

Suppressive effect of culture supernatant of erythrocytes and serum from dogs infected with Babesia gibsoni on the morphological maturation of canine reticulocytes in vitro.

he present study evaluated the effects of erythrocytes infected culture supernatant, fractionation of culture supernatant and serum of dogs infected with Babesia gibsoni (B. gibsoni) on in vitro maturation of reticulocytes dog. SDS-PAGE shows that a significantly wider band produced by both culture supernatant of infected erythrocytes and serum from chronically infected with B. gibsoni dog.  Culture supernatant of erythrocytes infected  Hamster Serum with B. gibsoni greatly suppressed the maturation of reticulocytes. previous studies have shown that chronically infected serum has an inhibitory effect on the maturation of reticulocytes and dogs pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase special subclass I and purine 5'-nucleotidase activity. In addition, serum-free culture supernatant of infected erythrocytes have an inhibitory effect on the morphological maturation of reticulocytes.  These results indicate that the infected serum and erythrocyte culture supernatant may accumulate excess...

Effects of hemolysis, lipemia, hyperbilirrubinemia, and anticoagulants in canine C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, and ceruloplasmin assays.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hemolysis, lipemia, bilirubinemia, and anticoagulants may be the most commonly used test for C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A, and determination of ceruloplasmin in dogs. Solution hemoglobin, lipids, and serum bilirubin added to aliquots. In addition, serum and plasma samples with different anticoagulants (heparin, EDTA, and citrate) were obtained from healthy dogs.  Hemolysis, lipemia, and hyperbilirubinemia significantly  Human Serums interfere with protein and ceruloplasmin results of C-reactive, but not with people to test serum amyloid A. The use of anticoagulants resulted in significant changes in the results of the test were tested. However, the magnitude of the difference caused by interfering substances not seem to have an important impact on the clinical interpretation of the test. The effects of dog serum were collected from the dogs at different stages of the estrous cycle in vitro canine oocyte nuclea...
