Analysis of vaccine potential of live recombinant and inactivated wild strains of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis
Authors: F.A. Dorella
Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a worldwide chronic disease that affects sheep and goats, whose etiological agent is Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Despite all the economic losses caused by CLA, there is not much information about molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of this bacterium, and immune prophylaxis against the infection is not able to re..

Transcriptional activity of an ovarian-specific promoter from rat in dairy goat granulosa cells
Authors: H.-Y. Liu M.-M. Yang Y.-H. Cui T. Ma X.-Q. Liu L. Bai W.-P. Xiao H.-B. Zhao J.-Y. Peng X.-B. Hu B.-Y. Cao
Ovarian-specific promoter 1 (OSP-1) is a retrovirus-like element isolated from the complementary DNA library of rat that has been thought to be specifically expressed in ovary. To exploit this promoter in dairy goat ovary granulosa cells (GCs), OSP-1 from rat was used to construct the reporter vector pOSP-1-EGFP, in which egfp coding for enhanced green fl.. Read More»

Desmoglein 4 diversity and correlation analysis with coat color in goat
Authors: G.X. E1, Y.J. Zhao1, Y.H. Ma2, G.L. Cao3, J.N. He4, R.S. Na1, Z.Q. Zhao1,C.D. Jiang1, J.H. Zhang1, S. Arlvd5, L.P. Chen1, X.Y. Qiu1, W. Hu1 and Y.F. Huang1
Desmoglein 4 (DSG4) has an important role in the development of wool traits in domestic animals. The full-length DSG4 gene, which contains 3918 bp, a complete open-reading-frame, and encodes a 1040-amino acid protein, was amplified from Liaoning cashmere goat. The sequence was compared with that of DSG4 from other animals and the results show that the DSG.. Read More»

Multivariate analysis of test-day and total milk yield in goats
Authors: N. Irano, A.B. Bignardi, F. Baldi, M.L. Santana Jr, I.A.M.A. Teixeira, H. Tonhati and L.G. Albuquerque
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for 305-day cumulative milk yield (MY305) and its association with test-day milk yield (TDMY) in Saanen and Alpine goats in order to provide information that allows the use of TDMY as selection criteria. This was done using standard multi-trait and reduced rank models. Data from 1157 lactation.. Read More»

Mitochondrial DNA insertions in the nuclear Capra hircus genome
Authors: F.Y. Ning, J. Fu and Z.H. Du
Nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (numts), originating from mtDNA insertions into the nuclear genome, have been detected in many species. However, the distribution of numts in the newly published nuclear genome of domestic goat (Capra hircus) has not yet been explored. We used the entire goat mtDNA sequence and nuclear genome,..

Proteomic analysis identifies differentially expressed proteins participating in forming Type III brush hair in Yangtze River Delta white goat
Authors: B. Yang, M.Y. Cai, Y.J. Li, H. Zhang, G.H. Cheng, J.H. Zhang, G.J. Zhang, W.T. Li and D.J. Ji
The Yangtze River Delta white goat is a goat breed that can produce high quality brush hair (Type III hair) around the world. This study aimed to compare Type III hair and non-Type III hair goat skin tissues using differentially expressed proteins based on 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis technology. The differentially expressed protein spots were analyz.. Read More»

Expression of the ROR�?± gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goat hair follicles
Authors: Y.H. Zhao, Z.H. Liu, L. Wang, H.M. Xiao, C.G. Du, Y.J. Zhang,R. Su and J.Q. Li
The expression of retinoid-acid-related orphan receptor �?± (ROR�?±) was evaluated at the mRNA level using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and its expression localization was determined by in situ hybridization of adult Inner Mongolian cashmere goats at different times of the year. In situ hybridization demonstrated that ROR�?±was expressed.. Read More»

A novel single-nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' upstream region of the prolactin receptor gene is associated with fiber traits in Liaoning cashmere goats
Authors: J.P. Zhou, X.P. Zhu, W. Zhang, F. Qin, S.W. Zhang and Z.H. Jia
The most important traits of Chinese Liaoning cashmere goat fiber are fiber diameter, weight, and length. We looked for polymorphisms and their possible association with cashmere fiber traits in the 5' upstream region (5' UTR) of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR), which encodes an anterior pituitary peptide hormone involved i..

Antibody preparation and identification of the Cashmere goat c-kit protein in the testes
Authors: S.C.L. Wu, F.H. Luo*, Q.F. Kong and Y.J. Wu
The c-kit protein plays a major role in the regulation of germ cell development. Its expression and distribution in rodent testes have been widely reported. However, research regarding c-kit expression in domestic animals is scarce, and the expression pattern and distribution of c-kit in germ cells have not been clearly define.. Read More»
