Abstract:
A serodiagnostic ELISA (rL-ELISA) using recombinant truncated leukotoxin protein PL2 (aa 311-644) of Fusobacterium necrophorum as antigen was developed for detection of antibodies against F. necrophorum from cattle footrot. In rL-ELISA, the recombinant diagnostic antigen showed no cross-reaction with antisera against bovine foot and mouth disease virus, bovine rhinotracheitis virus, bovine viral diarrhea virus, bovine rotavirus type A, bovine Escherichia coli, and bovine Salmonella. The rL-ELISA could confirm the existence of antibodies against F. necrophorum at day 7 after infection. Detection of the field samples indicated relative sensitivity of rL-ELISA to nL-ELISA using the purified native leukotoxin A as antigen was 96.43%, and relative specificity of rL-ELISA to nL-ELISA was 94.26%. These data demonstrated the rL-ELISA would have a potential use for early diagnosis of cattle footrot caused by F. necrophorum.

Adrenergic Agonists: Indirect-Acting Agents
One mechanism involves depleting stored catecholamines by displacing them from synaptic vesicles. These agents, known as "displacers," are transported into vesicles at the expense of noradrenaline. Examples include amphetamine and tyramine, which lack a catechol moiety, resulting in prolonged action, improved oral...
Indirect-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Mechanism of Action
Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex,...
