Evaluation of a lyophilized CRISPR-Cas12 assay for a sensitive, specific, and rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2
(MDPI, 2021-03)We evaluated a lyophilized CRISPR-Cas12 assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection (Lyo-CRISPR SARS-CoV-2 kit) based on reverse transcription, isothermal amplification, and CRISPR-Cas12 reaction. From a total of 210 RNA samples extracted ... -
An improved DNA vaccine against bovine herpesvirus-1 using CD40L and a chemical adjuvant induces specific cytotoxicity in mici
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2021-03)Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) uses many mechanisms to elude the immune system; one of them is spreading intracellularly, even in the presence of specific antiviral antibodies. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are necessary ... -
Expression-based analysis of genes related to single nucleotide polymorphism hits associated with bovine leukemia virus proviral load in Argentinean dairy cattle
(Elsevier, 2021-02)In dairy cattle infected with bovine leukemia virus (BLV), the proviral load (PVL) level is directly related to the viral transmission from infected animals to their healthy herdmates. Two contrasting phenotypic groups can ... -
A new cage-like particle adjuvant enhances protection of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07)Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is an acute viral disease that causes important economy losses. Vaccines with new low-cost adjuvants that stimulate protective immune responses are needed and can be assayed in a mouse model ... -
Bovine dendritic cell activation, T cell proliferation and antibody responses to foot-and-mouth disease, is similar with inactivated virus and virus like particles
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals that causes severe economic losses in the livestock industry. Currently available vaccines are based on the inactivated FMD virus (FMDV). ... -
A plasmid encoding the extracellular domain of CD40 ligand and MontanideTM GEL01 as adjuvants enhance the immunogenicity and the protection induced by a DNA vaccine against BoHV-1
(Elsevier, 2021-02)DNA vaccines are capable of inducing humoral and cellular immunity, and are important to control bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1), an agent of the bovine respiratory disease complex. In previous work, a DNA plasmid that encodes ... -
Analysis of irradiated Argentinean fetal bovine serum for adventitious agents
(Sage Publications, 2020-11)Fetal bovine serum (FBS) used in cell culture may be contaminated with adventitious agents, which can affect the production of biologicals and the results of clinical laboratory tests. We carried out a retrospective study ... -

(Universidad Nacional de San Martín, 2009)La fiebre aftosa (FA) es una enfermedad viral altamente contagiosa que afecta a todas las especies de pezuña hendida, salvajes y domésticas. Las especies domésticas principalmente afectadas son los bovinos, porcinos, ovinos ... -
Editorial: Emerging swine viruses
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03)Over the last 30 years, diseases caused by emerging swine viruses (ESV) have acquired great relevance, more than in other species. Diseases caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv), high ... -
In-vivo activity of IFN-λ and IFN-α against bovine-viral-diarrhea virus in a mouse model
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02)Bovine-viral-diarrhea virus (BVDV) can cause significant economic losses in livestock. The disease is controlled with vaccination and bovines are susceptible until vaccine immunity develops and may remain vulnerable if a ... -
