Comparison of Three Intraoperative Warming Devices
Franklin, Michelle Allycia (Oklahoma State University, 2008-07-01)Thermal homeostasis is important for the overall well-being of people and animals. Hypothermia is common during and after surgeries. The combination of anesthesia, exposure to a relatively cold operating room environment, ... -
Comparison of TRACK XI fluorometric immunoassay system with other serologic tests for detection of serum antibody to Brucella abortus in cattle
Hall, Stephen M.; Confer, Anthony W. (American Society for Microbiology, 1987-02)The TRACK XI system (TRACK) is a commercially available fluorometric immunoassay system that has been adapted for the detection of antibodies to several antigens in various animal species. Serum antibodies to Brucella ... -
Demonstration of age-dependent capsular material on Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1
Corstvet, Richard E.; Gentry, Martha J.; Newman, Paul R.; Rummage, John A.; Confer, Anthony W. (American Society for Microbiology, 1982-12)Extracellular capsular material was demonstrated on early log-phase cells of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 by the fluorescent-antibody and several capsular staining techniques. The presence of this material was shown ... -

Effect of repeated in vitro transfer of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 on encapsulation, leukotoxin production, and virulence
Gentry, Martha J.; Confer, Anthony W.; Craven, Rebecca C. (American Society for Microbiology, 1987-01)Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 was transferred daily for 128 serial passages on both unsupplemented brain heart infusion agar and the same basal medium supplemented with bovine blood, horse serum, and yeast extract. ... -

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of serum antibodies to Pasteurella haemolytica cytotoxin (leukotoxin) in cattle
Mosier, Derek A.; Confer, Anthony W.; Hall, Stephen M.; Gentry, Martha J.; Panciera, Roger J. (American Society for Microbiology, 1986-08)An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detection of bovine serum antibodies to the cytotoxin (leukotoxin) of Pasteurela haemolytica. A partially purified, cytotoxic, and immunogenic protein obtained ... -
