【 摘 要 】

References(27)Cited-By(2)To study the roles of conglutinin (Kg), mannan-binding protein (MBP), and serum amyloid P component (SAP) in the protection of cattle against infections, the concentrations of these proteins in the sera from cows with mastitis were determined by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The Kg and MBP concentrations in the sera from cows with mastitis were much lower than those from uninfected (or clinically healthy) ones, and increased after recovery. No significant difference in the SAP concentrations was found between healthy and infected cows. With the sera from cows experimentally infected with bovine leukemia virus, the Kg concentrations were also lower than those from uninfected ones, whereas the MBP concentrations were not. From these findings, the Kg concentration is suggested to be serologically a possible indicator for clinical diagnosis of treatment for mastitis although both Kg and MBP concentrations were found to decrease in cows with mastitis and to increase after recovery.
