生态免疫学领域目前正经历着快速的发展,因此来自广泛生态学科的生物学家对评估其研究生物的免疫能力越来越感兴趣。研究人员面临的主要挑战之一是确定在给定的实验中使用什么生态免疫措施。此外,根据研究物种、对特定抗体的要求以及方法与研究生物体的相关性,存在局限性。在这里,我们介绍了一种改进的体外方法,用于跨脊椎动物物种的杀微生物活性。这种试验的效用在于,它确定了生物体清除在野外可能遇到的病原体的能力,使该技术具有生态相关性。这种杀微生物试验的应用是广泛的,因为它很容易适应不同类型的微生物以及各种各样的研究物种。我们描述了一种杀微生物分析方法,使跨学科的研究人员能够有效地使用这种方法来准确量化微生物杀灭能力,使用现成的微孔板吸光度读取器。
The field of ecoimmunology is currently undergoing rapid expansion, whereby biologists from a wide range of ecological disciplines are increasingly interested in assessing immunocompetence in their study organisms. One of the key challenges to researchers is determining what eco-immune measures to use in a given experiment. Moreover, there are limitations depending on study species, requirements for specific antibodies, and relevance of the methodology to the study organism. Here we introduce an improved ex vivo method for microbiocidal activity across vertebrate species. The utility of this assay is that it determines the ability of an organism to remove a pathogen that could be encountered in the wild, lending ecological relevancy to the technique. The applications of this microbiocidal assay are broad, as it is readily adaptable to different types of microbes as well as a wide variety of study species. We describe a method of microbiocidal analysis that will enable researchers across disciplines to effectively employ this method to accurately quantify microbial killing ability, using readily available microplate absorbance readers.
