It has been demonstrated that horizontal and vertical transmission of Salmonella and Campylobacter can happen in broiler breeder flocks. The mechanism of this transmission remains to be unclear. Beforehand unfavourable broiler breeder flocks have been reported to grow to be optimistic with Salmonella, Campylobacter, or each after the introduction of “spike” roosters at 45 wk of age.
To find out whether or not the rooster semen is a doable supply of transmission to hens for colonization, we evaluated the affiliation of each Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. to segments (head, midpiece, and tail) of particular person spermatozoa after synthetic inoculation. Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella heidelberg, and Salmonella montevideo, or Campylobacter jejuni (in 0.85% saline) was added to a freshly collected (by stomach therapeutic massage) aliquot of pooled semen from roosters housed in particular person cages.
The semen and micro organism options have been incubated 1 h at room temperature. Samples have been fastened utilizing Karnosvsky and Zamboni fixatives for 24 h previous to centrifuging and rinsing in 0.1 M cacodylate x HCl buffer. Particular person aliquot samples have been then subjected to each scanning (JSM-5800) and transmission (JEM-1210) electron microscopy.
The scanning electron microscopy confirmed that Salmonella was related to all three segments (head, midpiece, and tail) of the spermatozoa and apparently equally distributed. Campylobacter was primarily related to the midpiece and tail segments; few isolates have been positioned on the top phase. The transmission electron microscopy confirmed obvious attachment of Salmonella and Campylobacter to the spermatozoa.
Porcine intestinal mast cells. Analysis of various fixatives for histochemical staining strategies contemplating tissue shrinkage.
Staining of mast cells (MCs), together with porcine ones, is critically dependent upon the fixation and marking method. Within the pig, mucosal and submucosal MCs don’t stain or stain solely faintly after formalin fixation. Some fixation strategies are significantly really helpful for MC staining, for instance the fixation with Carnoy or lead salts. Zinc salt fixation (ZSF) has been reported to work excellently for the preservation of fixation-sensitive antigens. The purpose of this examine was to ascertain a dependable histological methodology for counting of MCs within the porcine intestinum.
For this goal, completely different tissue fixation and marking strategies that additionally enable potential subsequent immunohistochemical investigations have been evaluated within the porcine mucosa, in addition to submucosa of small and huge gut. Tissues have been fastened in Carnoy, lead acetate, lead nitrate, Zamboni and ZSF and stained subsequently with both polychromatic methylene blue, alcian blue or toluidine blue.
For the primary time our examine reveals that ZSF, a heavy metallic fixative, preserves metachromatic staining of porcine MCs. Zamboni fixation was not appropriate for histochemical visualization of MCs within the pig gut. All different examined fixatives have been appropriate. Alcian blue and toluidine blue co-stained intestinal goblet cells which made a prima facie identification of MCs tough.
The polychromatic methylene blue proved to be the optimum staining. So as to examine MC counting outcomes of the completely different fixation strategies, tissue shrinkage was taken into consideration. As even the identical fixation induced shrinkage-differences between tissue from small and huge gut, various factors for every single fixation and intestinal localization needed to be calculated.
Tissue shrinkage various between 19% and 57%, the best tissue shrinkage was discovered after fixation with ZSF within the massive gut, the bottom one within the small gut after lead acetate fixation. Our examine emphasizes that MC counting outcomes from information utilizing completely different fixation strategies can solely be in contrast if the respective study-immanent shrinkage issue has been decided and quantification outcomes are adjusted accordingly.
Obvious attachment of Campylobacter and Salmonella to broiler breeder rooster spermatozoa.

Localization of protein kinase C theta immunoreactivity to interstitial cells of Cajal in guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract.
Within the gastrointestinal tract, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are positioned between nerve fibres and muscle cells and have a task in neuromuscular transmission and muscle contractility. Protein kinase C (PKC) is concerned in modulation of muscle contractility by neurotransmitters, however it’s not identified if PKC has a task in ICC. There are 11 completely different PKC isoforms.
The presence of PKC isoforms in ICC in guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract was examined utilizing fluorescence immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. Segments of guinea-pig abdomen, duodenum, ileum, proximal and distal colon have been fastened in zambonis fixative. Frozen sections and wholemounts have been incubated with anti-PKC antibodies (alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma, iota, lambda, mu, theta) adopted by fluorescent secondary antibody.
Solely PKC theta (theta) immunoreactivity was present in ICC. Not one of the different PKC isoforms (alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma, iota, lambda, mu) localized to the ICC. PKC theta immunoreactivity was outstanding in ICC positioned between the round and longitudinal muscle layers (ICC-MY) in all areas besides abdomen and throughout the round muscle (ICC-IM) within the massive gut. PKC theta was not current in ICC within the deep muscular plexus in both duodenum or ileum.
PKC theta immunoreactivity was current within the cell physique and proximal processes of the ICC. The cells containing PKC theta additionally contained cKit confirming the cells have been ICC. ICC-MY within the ileum additionally contained the neurokinin (NK) 1 receptor. In conclusion, PKC theta is current in pacemaker ICC, however its operate is just not but identified. Purposeful research shall be wanted to find out the position of this kinase in ICC.
