Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and low O-2 concentration (1%) synergize to improve the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (Pre-CFC)
(Wiley-Liss, Hoboken, 2007)
Low O-2 concentration (1%) favors the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and inhibits committed progenitors (CFC). Since IL-6 influences both stem cells and committed progenitors at 20% O-2, we studied its effects ...
Effect of gut active carbohydrates on plasma IgG concentrations in piglets and calves
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2010)
Improving immune status in neonates is crucial to health and production. Gut active carbohydrates (GAC) have been associated with increasing immunoglobin levels and immonucompetence development in mammals. The objective ...

The biological properties of an infectious bursal disease (IBD) virus isolated from bursas collected during an outbreak in a village chicken flock in Macedonia are described. The mortality rate was 50%. Two viruses coexisted ...
Evaluation of Thymol-β-d-Glucopyranoside as a Potential Prebiotic Intervention to Reduce Carriage of Zoonotic Pathogens in Weaned and Feeder Pigs
(MDPI, 2021)
The gut of food-producing animals is a reservoir for foodborne pathogens. Thymol is bactericidal against foodborne pathogens but rapid absorption of thymol from the proximal gut precludes the delivery of effective ...
