The effect of maternal immunity on the equine gammaherpesvirus type 2 and 5 viral load and antibody response

Thorsteinsdottir, Lilja; Jónsdóttir, Sigríður; Stefánsdóttir, Sara Björk; Andrésdóttir, Valgerður; Wagner, Bettina; Marti, Eliane; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2019-06-21)

Two types of gammaherpesviruses (γEHV) are known to infect horses, EHV-2 and EHV-5. Foals become infected early in life, probably via the upper respiratory tract, despite maternal antibodies. In this study, we analyzed samples from a herd of mares and ...
Neonatal Immunization with a Single IL-4/Antigen Dose Induces Increased Antibody Responses after Challenge Infection with Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) at Weanling Age

Wagner, Bettina; Perkins, Gillian; Babasyan, Susanna; Freer, Heather; Keggan, Alison; Goodman, Laura B.; Glaser, Amy; Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-01-03)

Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils ...
