Figure Lengend Snippet: CP-spor-super vaccines protected birds against NE-induced body weight gain loss. Cohorts of 7–16 birds were fed basal diet and immunized with various CP-spor-super vaccines at d 0 and 10. To induce necrotic enteritis (NE), the birds were infected with 20,000 oocysts/bird E. maxima at 16 days of age and then infected with 10 9 CFU/bird C. perfringens at 20 days of age. The birds were sacrificed at 21 days of age. The daily body weight gain during noninfected phase of d 0–16, E. maxima phase of d 16–20, and NE phase of d 20–21 are shown. All graphs depict mean ± SEM. Different letters of a, b, and c mean p < 0.05. Results are representative of two independent experiments.
Article Snippet: The membrane was then incubated with 1:1000 dilution of primary rabbit polyclonal anti- C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) (cat# 64-052 BioAcademia, Suita, Osaka, Japan), anti-p-MLKL (cat# 37333), anti-cleaved Caspase 3 (cat# 9664), anti-RIP3 (cat# 15828), or anti-Actin (cat# 4970S) antibody (Ab) (the latter four rabbit anti-mouse mAb from Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) overnight at 4 °C.
