Abstract
In this study, the antibacterial activity of camel milk, camel serum, camel
milk purified protein, and camel serum purified protein was tested against
Staph aureus and E. coli. camel serum and camel milk have marked
antibacterial effect against E. coli and Staph aureus while camel milk
purified protein and camel serum purified protein showed no inhibitory
activity, the antifungal activity was tested against Candida albicans and
Aspergillus fumigatus. Camel serum, camel milk and their purified proteins
showed no inhibitory activity against both microorganisms. By detection
of some pro-inflammatory biomarkers and immunological parameters in
camels’ sera of apparently healthy camels and diseased camels suffered
from respiratory manifestation, there was a marked increase in the levels of
IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in diseased camels than healthy ones but there was a
decrease in IL-10 in diseased camels than the healthy ones. There was a
marked elevation in the levels of acute phase proteins (fibrinogen,
Abstractceruloplasmin, haptoglobin, and serum amyloid A) in diseased camels
compared to healthy ones. The level of NO and MDA was elevated in
diseased camels while the level of catalase and Glutathione reductase
enzymes was decreased in diseased camels compared to healthy ones.
Serum levels of C3 and C4 decreased significantly in diseased animals
compared to apparently healthy ones while there was a marked increase in
the serum levels of IgA, IgM and IgG in the diseased animals compared to
healthy ones. There was a marked increase in the levels of total protein,
alpha 1globulins, alpha 2 globulins, beta 1 globulins, beta 2 globulins,
gamma globulins and total globulins in diseased camels compared to
healthy ones while there was significant decrease in the levels of albumin
and A/G ratio.
