Check out the new paper on plasma protein electrophoresis and acute phase protein expression in the Bonnethead shark published in the December issue of the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine. Congratulations to our collaborators Dr. Mike Hyatt of the Adventure Aquarium and Drs. Field and Clauss of the Georgia Aquarium.
Happy Holidays! The laboratory will be closed Thursday, November 24 but will reopen on Friday, November 25. Other lab closures are Monday, December 26 and Monday, January 2. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns at (800)596-7390. We appreciate your patronage and wish you the best in the New Year.
The laboratory was pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park on a study of acute phase protein expression in a Przewalsk’s horse (Equus ferus przewalski). In this study, the horse presented with an aspiration pneumonia which did not resolve over a two month period. Minimal changes were observed in hematologic analyses. Protein electrophoresis, serum amyloid A (SAA) and surfactant protein D serum concentrations were found to more accurately reflect the severity of disease.
