  1. Project DirectorsCynthia Baldwin, University of Massachusetts Amherst Eva Bengten, University of Mississippi Medical Center Erin Bromage, University of Massachusetts DartmouthJohn Hansen, WFRC-USGS-Biological Resources Division Joanna LaBresh, Kingfisher Biotech Hyun Lillehoj, USDA-ARS Beltsville Joan Lunney, USDA-ARS Beltsville Bettina Wagner, Cornell University Melanie Wilson, University of Mississippi Medical Center www.vetimm.org US Veterinary Immune Reagent Network Funded by: USDA-CREES 2006-2009; USDA-NIFA 2010-2014

  2. Objective A major obstacle to advances in veterinary immunology and disease control is the lack of sufficient immunological reagents specific for ruminants, swine, poultry, equine and aquaculture species. The goals of the project are to develop sets of reagents to begin to address this dearth.

  3. Targets of US-VIRN • Cytokines and chemokines: bioactive recombinant proteins as well as Abs to them • Ab to cytokines & chemokines: mAbpairs for ELISA, multiplex and ELISpot assays (in some cases this may include polyclonal Abs); single mAb for intracellular staining for cytokines • mAbs to Igsisotypes and IgGsubclasses • mAb anti-CD molecules and T cell receptors: mAb reactive with native molecules and used to stain viable cells for flow cytometric analyses including cell sorting to purify cells by flow cytometry or magnetic beads; for anti-cytokine receptors mAb that block function and signaling

  4. Kingfisher Biotech Presented by Joanna LaBresh

  5. Kingfisher Biotech • 14 Species • Bovine, Canine, Catfish, Chicken, Dolphin, Equine, Feline, Guinea Pig, Mouse, Ovine, Rabbit, Rat, Swine, Turkey • Product Types • Proteins (>175), Antibodies(>140), ELISA Pairs, (>50) ELISA Sets (25)

  6. Proteins • Expressed in yeast because of the advantages of yeast • Expressed into media • Properly folded • Post-translationally modified • No endotoxin • We never use tags

  7. Progress US-VIRN target Proteins expressed in yeastNote: not all targets in list were requested for all species Those check-marked in Red have ELISAs developed by KingfisherBiotech called VetSets

  8. Example: ELISA kit results

  9. New Products • Our pipeline is dynamic • We receive a couple of requests a week. • We are happy to hear what products our customers would like to further their research

  10. Catfish Presented by Mel Wilson

  11. VIRN: Catfish Species Report For catfish, the highest priority reagents have been and are mAbs that recognize B and T cell subsets and macrophages. Antibodies to inflammatory cytokines have also been requested. Our goal is to prove specificity by FACS, western blotting, and immunoprecipitation with peptide sequencing.
