Regulation and Pharmaceutical Intervention of Appetite in South American Camelids
… clinical problem in hospitalized South American Camelids (camelids), associated with stress or secondary to underlying disease processes. Potential consequences of prolonged inappetence in camelids include weight loss, ketosis, or hepatic lipidosis. Development of an increase in metabolic demand …

Localization of nerve growth factor-β in the stallion reproductive tract
… a protein produced in the reproductive tract of camelids (camels, llamas, and alpacas) that has been identified as the ovulation inducing factor in seminal plasma. NGF-β from seminal plasma deposited into the reproductive tract of the female camelid acts systemically to stimulate secretion of …

The Economic Organization of Early Camelid Pastoralism in the Andean Highlands of Bolivia
… systems. The domestication of South American camelids: llamas and alpacas) was associated with the development of specialized pastoralist societies that are still poorly understood. In the central altiplano of Bolivia, during the Formative Period: 1800 BC − AD 400) a cultural complex known as …

Transdermal delivery of heavy chain only antibody binding domains using hydrogel-forming microarray patches
… as Nanobody® molecules and VNARs, derived from camelids and sharks, respectively. Owing to their small size (~13 kDa) and reduced complexity, they are less expensive to produce than mAbs. Furthermore, their potency has been shown to be an order of magnitude higher than the best-selling mAb-based …

Under the Empire’s Eye: The Psychosocial Stress of Chimú Human Sacrifice (1100–1450 CE)
… where hundreds of children, young women, and camelids were ritually killed during moments of political and environmental upheaval. Despite the scale of these events, little was known about the lived experiences of those chosen for sacrifice in the months leading up to their deaths. This …

Advancing nanobody discovery and engineering with sequence-based machine learning
… small antibody fragments naturally produced in camelids. Notable for their high expressibility, solubility, and stability, they exhibit binding affinities comparable to those of conventional antibodies. Since the approval of the first nanobody-based drug in 2019, they have gained significant …

Implémentation d'une méthode de détection du virus de la diarrhée virale bovine au sein de la fondation de la promotion des productions andines Proinpa (Bolivie)
… this virus can also infect « New Worlds camelids » which are the alpacas, lamas, vicunas and guanacos species living in South-America. The aim of this study was to implement a BVDV detection method for the Foundation of Andeans Productions Promotion PROINPA in Bolivia. This objective was …

Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, and Blood Metabolites in Llama and Alpaca Fed Barley and Barley Alfalfa Forages.
… experiment was conducted with eight adult gelded camelids (n = 8; 4 llamas, 24-36 months, 90 ± 10.7 kg; 4 alpacas, 24-36 months, 50 ± 4 kg) at Brigham Young University, Provo, UT (altitude 1370 m). Animals were randomly fed barley hay (B) and 80% barley/20% alfalfa hay (BA). A fresh cut grass …

Nanobody-Based Interactomic Studies of Single Transcripts During mRNA Maturation
… of a heavy chain-only antibody variant found in camelids. The recombinant nature and small size of nanobodies make them ideal reagents for affinity isolations. We developed an improved pipeline for the identification of nanobody repertoires against any antigen of interest, which provided us with …

Development of VHH- and antibody- based imaging and diagnostic tools
… manner. Single-domain antibodies (VHHs) from camelids are amongst the smallest (15 KDa) proteins that can recognize a diverse set of targets with excellent specificity. Chemoenzymatic labeling of molecules using sortase allows site-specific attachment of a single label of interest to the …

Haemonchus contortus Infections in Alpacas and Sheep
… small ruminants and compartment three (C-3) of camelids. Heavy infections may cause severe anemia and death. Alpacas were first introduced into the U.S. in the 1980s. Although not true ruminants, alpacas may become infected with H. contortus and develop the same clinical signs as sheep and …

Determining the role of nerve growth factor-beta in seminal plasma on bovine reproduction
… systems as well. Most notable is its function in camelids as an ovulation inducing agent with a dose-dependent luteotrophic effect. While also present in the seminal plasma of spontaneously ovulating species, such as the bull, the role of NGF was initially thought to be limited to regulating sperm …

Molekulargenetische Untersuchungen an Überresten präkolumbischer Neuwelt-Camelidae aus dem Palpa-Tal (Peru)
Die Rekonstruktion der sozio-kulturellen Begebenheiten (prä-)historischer Populationen ist zentrales Interesse der Archäologie. Die Kooperation der Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften bietet hierbei die Möglichkeit der Generierung einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Daten über Umweltbedingungen, …
