Blood serum acute phase proteins and iron dynamics during acute phase response of Salmonella enterica Serotype Dublin experimentally infected buffalo calves

In conclusion, the inoculation of 108 CFU was effective in inducing hyperthermia and diahrrea. β and α-haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin and fibrinogen worked as positive APP during the APR to S. Dublin infection and are potential biomarker candidates. Concentrations of iron and transferrin decreased during the infection, highlighting the fact that mechanisms for restricting iron availability are part of the APR triggered against S. Dublin infection in buffalo calves.
