Transmission of immunoglobulins (Ig) from mother to newborns, classified as passive transmission of immunity, is a critical factor in protecting newborns from infectious diseases. Syndesmochorial structure of the cows placenta prevents the transfer of Ig from the mother to the fetus, so calves are born agammaglobulinemic, that is, without their own Ig, which they receive when consuming colostrum. Obtaining colostrum with high Ig content is the main factor of growth, development and protection of calves in the early postnatal period against pathogens in the environment. Universal media passive immunity is IgG. Violation of passive transfer of Ig leads to an increase in sickness rate and mortality and is considered as an important economic problem for industrial farming. The review discusses the current understanding of the properties, function and importance of cow colostrum in the formation of the immune status of newborn calves and their resistance to disease in the early postnatal period.
This article presents the results of a study of the effectiveness of anti-rabies and anti-chlamydia antibodies conjugated with fluorescein, freeze-dried. Immunobiological products lyophilization is one of the most reliable ways to preserve their physicochemical and biological properties, since this is a soft drying method, in which the dried product is frozen, then it is placed in a vacuum chamber, where the solvent is sublimated. Lyophilization allows you to get drugs without losing their shape, structural integrity and more importantly, without losing their biological activity. The study aimed to standardize methods for the purification of FITC conjugates, as well as reagents used in the production and drying of FITC conjugates. We used conjugates of anti-rabies and anti-chlamydia antibodies labeled with fluoresceinisothiocyanate (FITZ) obtained by hyperimmunization of sheep and rams using an immunostimulant. We tested the ability of various concentrations of dextran T-70 to retain the specific activity of fluorescent conjugates of anti-rabies and anti-chlamydia antibodies when added dextran T-70 to them before the lyophilization. To determine the optimal amount of T-70 dextran filler, prepared 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% solutions in 10mm phosphate-salt solution. We found that the effectiveness of dextran T-70 as a filler substance in the lyophilization of FITC conjugates depends on its concentration. The optimal stabilizing vehicle for lyophilization of both fluorescent conjugates is 2-3% concentration of dextran T-70 in 10 mM phosphate-buffered saline. Analysis of the results of the quality of FITZ-conjugates allows us to conclude about the high quality of biological products prepared during freeze-drying of the material in the developed temperature regime using dextran T-70 as a filler substance. As a result of the studies, the technology for the preparation of lyophilized FITC conjugates of anti-rabies and anti-chlamydia antibodies for diagnostic test systems was optimized. The specific activity and stability of the physicochemical characteristics of the preparations after lyophilization and during subsequent storage for two years were observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
