Genetic and environmental determinants of interferon-tau secretion by in vivo- and in vitro-derived bovine blastocysts.

Abstract

Several experiments were conducted to assess the effects of genotype and various culture media on interferon-tau secretion by in vitro-derived bovine blastocysts and to compare these values with interferon released by blastocysts flushed from superovulated cows. In experiment 1, oocytes were inseminated with semen from three different bulls. While paternal genotype had no effect on cleavage rate, the size or hatching ability of blastocysts, it was a significant determinant of the embryo's ability to develop to the blastocyst stage and of subsequent interferon-tau secretion. In the second experiment, embryos were cultured in synthetic oviductal fluid containing either polyvinyl alcohol, bovine serum albumin or fetal bovine serum. While there was no effect of supplement on the percentage of embryos developing to the blastocyst stage, blastocysts which formed in medium with polyvinyl alcohol had significantly fewer cells, were older at blastocyst formation and produced significantly more interferon-tau. In the third experiment, embryos were cultured to the blastocyst stage in either TCM199 alone or in co-culture with buffalo rat liver, bovine oviductal or bovine uterine epithelial cells. Culture with oviductal or buffalo rat liver...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
