| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, I focused on nerve growth factor (NGF) to clarify the etiology and diagnostic significance in horse diseases secondary to the transportation stress. In addition, I attempted to establish an assay system for horse NGF as the biomarker. The results are as follows: 1) the sequence of horse NGF was identified and homology was more than 90% in comparison to the other animals. 2) an ELISA system for horse NGF was developed with a commercial antibody. 3) NGF levels were increased in peripheral blood of transportation-stressed horses using the established ELISA. Thus, I established a NGF assay system and usefulness of the NGF in the horse was confirmed.
