Boar taint is an unpleasant smell and taste of pork meat derived from some entire male pigs.
The main causes of boar taint are the two compounds androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3 …

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically important
disease to the swine industry, and effective prevention strategy for this disease is still …

Myxovirus resistance (Mx) proteins are products of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) and
Mx proteins of different species have been reported to mediate antiviral activity against a …

Mx proteins are interferon (IFN)-induced GTPases that have broad antiviral activity against a
wide range of RNA and DNA viruses; they belong to the dynamin superfamily of large …

Mx1 has been implicated in resistance to the influenza virus. We have now identified four
alleles of the Mxl gene in domesticated breeds of pigs. Two of the alleles encode deletion …

Simple Summary Some of the compounds involved in sexual steroids' metabolic pathways
(ie, androstenone, indole, and skatole) might accumulate in the adipose tissue of intact male …

We determined the cDNA sequences of the type I interferon-inducible proteins, pig Mx1 from
PK (15) and LLC-PK1 cells, and compared the antiviral activities of both Mx proteins …

The myxovirus resistance gene (Mx1) has a broad spectrum of antiviral activities. It is
therefore an interesting candidate gene to improve disease resistance in farm animals. In …

Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis (SC) is a highly invasive pathogen that causes
enteric and septicemic diseases in pigs. Although there have been some reports on gene …

The myxovirus resistance (Mx) proteins belong to the dynamin superfamily and are
important for innate host defence against RNA viruses. In this study, we demonstrate that …
