摘要
The sera of horses affected and not affected with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were examined for precipitins to Micropolyspora faeni and Aspergillus fumigatus. Precipitins to both antigens were not restricted to COPD cases but occurred more frequently in animals affected with COPD. Many animals without detectable precipitins responded clinically to inhalation challenge with these antigens. Les serums de chevaux atteints de la maladie et ceux de chevaux indemnes ont été examinés pour y trouver des précipitines à Micropolyspora faeni et à Aspergillus fumigatus. La pRÉSence de précipitines n'était point limitée à la maladie respiratoire mais fut constatée plus fréquemment chez les chevaux atteints de cette maladie. Beaucoup d'animaux chez lesquels les précipitines n'étaient point détectables réagirent cliniquemment à l'inhalation d'antigènes. Die Seren von gesunden Pferden und diejenigen von Pferden mit chronisch obstruktiven Lungenkrankheiten wurden auf das Vorkommen von Praezipitinen gegen Micropolyspora faeni und Aspergillusfumigatus untersucht. Das Auftreten von Praezipitinen gegen beide Antigene erwies sich als nicht beschränkt auf die Fälle von Lungenkrankheiten, aber sie traten doch bei erkrankten Tieren häufiger auf. Viele Pferde ohne nachweisbare Praezipitine reagierten klinisch auf die Inhalation dieser Antigene. © 1979 EVJ Ltd
