The classification of bovine immunoglobulins is similar to that of nonruminant mammals, namely IgM, IgA, IgG<sub>1, IgG<sub>2 and IgE. There are minimal differences between IgG<sub>1 and IgG<sub>2 in complement fixation, ability to mediate passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, phagocytosis of coated er...
Advances in biotechnological techniques are driven by the needs of the human populations. The new techniques in biotechnology have been developed as a consequence of the integrated use of microbiology, biochemistry and chemical engineering. Some of these technologies are being employed in the der...

Application of biotechnology in disease diagnosis and vaccine Development
Diagnosis is an essential requirement in the management of disease both at the level of the individual, when a decision has to be made whether to treat or not, and at the epidemiological level for evaluating the performance of disease control strategies. The centrality of diagnosis in disease man...
Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA), developed for the detection and identification of trypanosome species in tsetse flies, was validated in the laboratory by comparing its sensitivity to that of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tsetse flies were experimentally infected with dif...

Analysis of serum antibody responses in cattle experimentally infected with Trypanosoma congolense suggested that antibody responses of trypanosusceptible Boran cattle are less efficient in isotype switching and affinity maturation than those of trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle. High levels of polys...
