Although feline viral diseases can pose serious health hazards to pet cats, commercialized preventative vaccines are lacking. Interferons (IFNs), especially type I IFNs (IFN-α, IFN-β, and interferon omega (IFN-!)), have been explored as effective therapeutic drugs against viral diseases in cats. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge regarding feline IFN-! (feIFN-!), compared to IFN-α and IFN-β. In this study, we cloned the genes encoding feIFN-!a and feIFN-!b from cat spleen lymphocytes.

  • Kasside Tõuaretuse Inglise-Eesti Oskussõnastik
    TARTU ÜLIKOOL FILOSOOFIATEADUSKOND Germaani, romaani ja slaavi filoloogia instituut KASSIDE TÕUARETUSE INGLISE-EESTI OSKUSSÕNASTIK Magistritöö Kerttu Tihanov Juhendaja: Krista Kallis, MA TARTU 2011 Eessõna Käesoleva magistritöö „Kasside tõuaretuse inglise-eesti oskussõnastik“ koostamise ajendiks oli eelkõige autori isiklik huvi kasside tõuaretuse ja erialase terminoloogia vastu. Lisaks on sellise sõnastiku järele reaalne vajadus. Kasside tõuaretus ja kõik sellega seonduv on väga rahvusvaheline valdkond, kus valitsevad keeled on inglise, prantsuse ja saksa keel. Samas on erialastele terminitele võimalik määratlusi leida vaid ükskeelsetest (enamasti ingliskeelsetest) internetiallikatest või vastavast erialakirjandusest. Puudub ühtne allikas, kuhu oleksid koondatud kassikasvatuse valdkonnas kõige sagedamini esinevad ingliskeelsed terminid koos eestikeelsete vastete ja määratlustega. Just seetõttu on käesoleva magistritöö autor võtnud eesmärgiks koostada esialgu kasside tõunimetusi ja väliseid tunnuseid hõlmav terminibaas, mida oleks tulevikus võimalik täiendada. Samuti on autoril plaanis käesolev oskussõnastik internetikeskkonnas kättesaadavaks teha. Magistritöö koosneb sissejuhatusest ning teoreetilisest ja praktilisest osast. Sissejuhatuses selgitab autor koostatud sõnastiku eesmärki ja sihtrühma. Teoreetilise osa esimeses pooles annab autor ülevaate kasside tõuaretuse olemusest ja kujunemisest nii Eestis kui ka ülejäänud maailmas, k.a suurimatest kassikasvatajate ühendustest. Üks alapeatükk on pühendatud ka kassitõugude nimetuste ajaloole.
