Haemophilus parasuis is an opportunistic pathogen and the causative agent of Glässer's disease in swine. This disease has high morbidity and mortality rates in swine populations, and is responsible for major economic losses worldwide. Survival of H. parasuis within the host requires mechanisms for coping with oxidative stress conditions. In many bacteria, OxyR is known to mediate protection against...
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can cause acute encephalitis with a high fatality rate. RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool to silence gene expression and a potential therapy for virus infection. In this study, the antiviral ability of eight shRNA expression plasmids targeting different sites of the NS3 and NS4A genes of JEV was determined in BHK21 cells...
Haemophilus parasuis causes serious economic losses in pigs, which is the etiology of Glässer's disease. In this study we studied the immunogenicity of proteins encoded by the hxuCBA gene cluster in H. parasuis. Through bioinformatics analysis, HxuC, HxuB, and HxuA proteins were found that they might have strong antigenicity, with 31 putative cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes and multiple B-cell...
CheY, a response regulator of controlling the bacterial chemotactic swimming, can be modulated by either phosphorylation or acetylation to generate clockwise rotation of the flagella. Here, we researched the biological characteristics of cheY deletion mutant in Haemophilus parasuis, and found that the growth rate of this mutant was significantly slower compared with serovar 13 wild strain EP3. Additionally,...
The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between G1961E and D2177N variants in the ABCA4 gene with AMD susceptibility.All eligible studies published up to October 2014 were obtained from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to evaluate the strength of this association.Twenty-four studies enrolling 4580...
An effective DNA marker for authenticating the genus Salvia was screened using seven DNA regions (rbcL, matK, trnL–F, and psbA–trnH from the chloroplast genome, and ITS, ITS1, and ITS2 from the nuclear genome) and three combinations (rbcL+matK, psbA–trnH+ITS1, and trnL–F+ITS1). The present study collected 232 sequences from 27 Salvia species through DNA sequencing and 77 sequences within the same...
Ifrg15 is a newly identified interferon alpha responsive gene and is implicated in a wide variety of physiological roles in mammals. In the present study, multiple alignments of the deduced amino acids of 10 eutherian mammalian IFRG15/Ifrg15s isolated from open genomic database revealed that they were highly conserved. Real-time PCR showed that mouse Ifrg15 mRNA was expressed in MII stage oocytes...
