Electrophoresis profile of serum protein analysis from goat naturally infected with theileriosis

Abstract EN

Blood parasites represent an important causes of loss to goat production and the main clinical finding are anemia, ictruse of mucous membrane and enlargement of pre scapular lymph node and reduced growth rates .

the present research aimed to determine the changes in the serum proteins of goat infected with theileriosis.

Blood samples were collected from 20 Goats naturally infected with theileriosis all infected show ictrus of mucus membrane and enlargement of lymph node.

Blood samples were also collected from 20 non infected goats as controls group.

Serum were used to determination of total protein by colorimetric assay and protein fractions were separated by electrophoresis.

The results were compared using an unpaired two-tailed T test.

The serum levels (g/dl-1) of theileriosis infected goats and control goats were respectively: total proteins (5.20 ± 1.17) and (7.06 ± 1.10), α-globulins (0.57±0.23) and (0.39±0.10), β-1 globulins (0.54±0.22) and (0.45±0.11), β-2 globulins (0.25±0.18) and (0.26±0.13), γ-1 globulins (0.95±0.37) and (0.99±0.45), γ-2 globulins (0.56±0.25) and (0.22±0.11).

There statistically result significant differences for total protein, albumin, α-globulins, γ-2 globulins infection with theileriosis in goats intense hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia increased α and γ-2 globulins and decreased albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio
