Acquisition of a Liquid Chromatography System

本提案要求资金购买液相色谱系统，主要服务于马什实验室的教职员工和研究生。它也将适用于其他部门，如微生物学、生物学、动物和牧场科学。该仪器将用于支持牛T淋巴细胞表面抗原的免疫化学分析、水疱性口炎病毒和其他病毒糖蛋白的纯化和分析、牛免疫反应产生的淋巴因子的研究、肠毒性肠细菌产物的生化分析、家畜原生寄生虫抗原的纯化及免疫化学分析。这种仪器将促进兽医科学系在研究大型动物的疾病机制和对疾病的抵抗力方面朝着分子方向发展。

This proposal requests funds to purchase a liuid chromatography system to serve primarily the faculty, staff, and graduate students in the Marsh Laboratory. It will also be available to other departments, such as microbiology, biology, and animal and range science. The instrumentation will be used in support of research on immunochemical analysis of surface antigens of bovine T lymphocytes, puification and analysis of glycoproteins of vesicular stomatitis virus and other viruses, the study of lymphokines produced by the bovine immune response, biochemical analysis of products of enterotoxogenic enteric bacteria, and purification and immunochemical analysis of antigens of protozoan parasites of livestock. This instrumentation will facilitate the Department of Veterinary Science's movement toward a molecular orientation in the study of mechanisms of disease and resistance to disease in large animals.
