The glycerol-blanked TG analysis method is used primarily in Japan; the total glyceride measurement method is used in most countries, including the United States. The latter method includes free glycerol in the blood, which is known to be slightly higher in humans. However, the extent to which the 2 methods differ in companion animals is unknown. We used cryopreserved blood from dogs and cats that visited a secondary veterinary hospital to investigate the relationship between the data obtained using the 2 TG analysis methods. The median ratio (5th and 95th percentiles) of total glyceride measurement:glycerol-blanked TG measurement ratios was 1.24 (1.08 and 1.77) for dogs and 2.00 (1.44 and 3.66) for cats, with the total glycerol method clearly having higher values. The Passing-Bablok regression equation comparing the total glyceride method (y) and glycerol-blanked method (x) was y = 1.049x + 0.119 for dogs and y = 1.476x + 0.177 for cats. The estimated free glycerol value calculated from the difference between the 2 TG measurements was strongly correlated with the measured free glycerol value (dog, r = 0.7905; cat, r = 0.8708), indicating that free glycerol in the blood was the cause of the TG measurement discrepancy. Therefore, the TG concentrations obtained from total glyceride assays in dogs and cats may contain non-negligible levels of free glycerol.","PeriodicalId":17579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"36-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11645684/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142818197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This era also witnessed pivotal contributions to our understanding of humoral immunity, as researchers elucidated the structure and functions of antibody molecules, laying the groundwork for diagnostic applications. Among antibody isotypes, IgG is of paramount importance in diagnostic investigations given its definitive indication of infection or vaccination, coupled with its widespread presence and detectability across various specimen types, such as serum, colostrum, milk, oral fluids, urine, feces, and tissue exudate. Despite their resilience, immunoglobulins are susceptible to structural alterations induced by physicochemical and enzymatic processes, which can compromise the reliability of their detection. Here we review comprehensively the historical milestones, underlying mechanisms, and influencing factors (e.g., temperature, pH, storage) that shape the structural integrity and stability of IgG antibodies in aqueous solutions and various clinical specimens.","PeriodicalId":17579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"13-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11645686/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142824249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TEG in clinical settings is most often performed on citrated whole blood samples that are recalcified at the time of analysis, with or without the addition of an activator of coagulation. To date, superiority of the use of an activator in canine patients with abnormal hemostasis has not been demonstrated. We compared the use of tissue factor-activated (TF) TEG with citrated native (CN) TEG in dogs with suspected hemostatic abnormalities. Forty-five of 79 enrolled dogs with suspected abnormal hemostasis had an abnormal MA value. There was very high correlation between CN samples and TF-activated samples for alpha, K, MA, and R; there was a high correlation for LY30 and LY60. Categorical agreement for CN- and TF-activated TEG classification of hypercoagulable and hypocoagulable cases based on MA was good to very good, with 91% and 97% categorical agreement, respectively. No difference was found in the variance for any TEG variable between the 2 methods of analysis. For canine patients with suspected abnormal hemostasis, use of CN or TF-activated TEG appears acceptable.

Nevertheless, use of the qPCR method for product screening had reduced the fraction of serials with EqPV-H detected from 39.6% prior to regulation to 6.8% after regulatory implementation.

Additionally, skunks are considered the primary reservoir of rabies in Texas. In November 2022, the animal was discovered in northern Texas displaying neurologic signs before euthanasia and submission to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory for rabies testing. Direct fluorescent antibody testing indicated that the animal was rabies-positive, and, upon tissue collection, numerous adult nematodes were recovered from the cranium and identified as S. chitwoodorum by morphology and amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. Histologically, we found lymphohistiocytic meningitis in several loci and chronic sinusitis rostral to the cribriform plate. Due to behavioral abnormalities, we additionally tested for Toxoplasma gondii via PCR, but no parasite DNA was detected.

To evaluate the effect of inter-laboratory variation on CWD prion detection using RT-QuIC, we conducted a multi-institution comparison on a shared anonymized sample set. We hypothesized that RT-QuIC can accurately and reliably detect the prions that cause CWD in postmortem samples from medial retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) tissue despite variation in laboratory protocols. Laboratories from 6 U.S. states (Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin) were enlisted to compare the use of RT-QuIC in determining CWD prion status (positive or negative) among 50 anonymized RPLNs of known prion status. Our sample set included animals of 3 codon 96 WTD genotypes known to affect CWD progression and detection (G96G, G96S, S96S).
