Immunohistochemical Diagnosis Of Aspergillosis In Adult Turkeys, Enver Beytut
Immunohistochemical Diagnosis Of Aspergillosis In Adult Turkeys, Enver Beytut
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of the present study was to apply immunohistochemistry, using a commercially available monoclonal antibody, for the diagnosis of aspergillosis in adult turkeys. Eight adult turkeys were studied. The lungs revealed grossly a few yellowish-white granulomas. Histopathologically, the granulomas were distributed in the pulmonary parenchyma or occasionally located around the airways. A few fungal hyphae were detected within the necrotic debris of the granulomas in the lungs using routine fungal stains. Immunohistochemical staining performed on lung sections from all of the turkeys disclosed fungal hyphae and their fragments clearly within the necrotic debris and within the cytoplasm of macrophages …
Pathological, Immunohistochemical, And Electron Microscopic Findings In The Respiratory Tract And Skin Of Chickens Naturally Infected With Avipoxvirus, Enver Beytut, Mehmet Haligur
Pathological, Immunohistochemical, And Electron Microscopic Findings In The Respiratory Tract And Skin Of Chickens Naturally Infected With Avipoxvirus, Enver Beytut, Mehmet Haligur
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present study describes pathological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic findings in the respiratory tract and skin of chickens naturally infected with avian pox virus. Respiratory distress, depression, and cyanosis were found in the chickens upon clinical examination. At necropsy, erosion, crusts, and nodules were observed on the comb, wattle, and eyelids. Histopathological examination revealed that the epithelial cells in the stratum spinosum were hyperplastic, and that their cytoplasm contained large, eosinophilic inclusion bodies. Epithelial hyperplasia was also prominent in the mucosa of the trachea and bronchi, with characteristic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies and severe submucosal accumulation of mononuclear cells. Avipoxvirus infection …
Immunohistochemical Expression Of Estrogen And Progesterone Receptors In Oviduct Adenocarcinomas In Laying Hens, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t, Gürsel Sönmez
Immunohistochemical Expression Of Estrogen And Progesterone Receptors In Oviduct Adenocarcinomas In Laying Hens, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t, Gürsel Sönmez
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors (ERs and PRs, respectively) in oviduct adenocarcinomas in laying hens. In all, 32 oviduct adenocarcinomas (18 primary tumors and 14 intestinal metastases) from Babcock B-380 laying hens 16-18 months old were stained with commercially available monoclonal antibodies against mouse-anti-human ERs and mouse-anti-human PRs. In the microscopic examination, 13 tumors (7 oviduct adenocarcinomas and 6 intestinal metastases) stained positively for ERs and 12 tumors (4 oviduct adenocarcinomas and 8 intestinal metastases) gave a positive reaction to PR antibody. The staining pattern of the tumor cells with …
