“…In our report, ADA1 was the main contributor to the tADA activity in both serum and saliva. It was in agreement with a recent report [33] but in contrast with a previous one that found ADA2 as the predominant form in porcine saliva [43]. In saliva, signi cant increases were found in tADA and ADA1 in pigs with lameness compared with healthy pigs, but these were not detected in serum.…”

Background: Measurement of adenosine deaminase (ADA) can provide information about cell-mediated immunity. This report’s objetive was to study the enzymatic activity of total ADA (tADA) and its isoenzymes ADA1 and ADA2 in canine, equine, porcine, and bovine serum and saliva and their changes in different inflammatory situations in each species. Besides, an automated method for ADA2 measurement was developed and validated.Results: tADA was present in serum and saliva of healthy animals of the four species. Erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl) adenine (EHNA) concentration of 0.47mM was needed for ADA1 inhibition in canine and porcine samples (serum and saliva) and bovine saliva, whereas for equine saliva 0.94mM was needed. ADA2 activity was not detected in bovine serum and was very low or absent in equine serum and bovine saliva. An automated procedure to measure ADA2 consisting of adding EHNA to a commercial reagent for tADA measurement provided repetitive (coefficients of variation <8.8% in serum and <10% in saliva) and accurate (linearity under dilution approaches gave R 2 >0.90) results, being equivalent to a manual incubation of the sample with EHNA at a similar concentration. Salivary tADA, as well as ADA1 and ADA2, were higher in dogs with leishmaniosis, horses with acute abdominal disease and pigs with lameness than in healthy animals. ADA showed significant correlation with serum ferritin in dogs ( r = 0.602, P <0.01; r = 0.555, P <0.05; and r = 0.632, P <0.01; respectively for tADA, ADA1 and ADA2) and serum C-reactive protein in pigs ( r = 0.700, P <0.01, for both tADA and ADA1; r = 0.770, P <0.001, for ADA2), whereas salivary ADA2 significantly correlated with serum amyloid A in the horse ( r = 0.649, P <0.01). In the cow, salivary tADA and ADA1 significantly increased after calving, correlatingd with total white blood cell count ( r = 0.487, P <0.05, both).Conclusions: ADA activity, as well as its isoenzymes, can be measured in serum and saliva of different animal species. The salivary levels of these analytes could potentially be inflammatory biomarkers in these species.

The isoenzyme ADA1 is mainly present in lymphoid

“…Studies regarding acute phase proteins (APPs) in pigs were based on the C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA), indicating that salivary APPs concentration can be used as an early indicator of health status [3,4]. Moreover, recent studies performed over the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) in saliva samples showed a powerful and cheap tool for health status assessment in pigs [5]. Other salivary biomarkers such as α-amylase [6], cortisol, chromogranin A, immunoglobulin A or testosterone [7] could be used as a practical and non-invasive tool for reflecting the activity of different physiological systems involved in the stress response and the immune system in pigs [8].…”

Background: This study is focused on the measurement of trace elements (zinc, copper, cadmium, lead and selenium) in the saliva of pigs in order to study their levels on different porcine pathological conditions in the field. The experiment involved 15 pigs without clinical signs of disease and 42 diseased pigs (suffering from lameness, rectal prolapse, fatigue or growth rate retardation). Individual saliva samples were collected, allowing the pigs to chew a sponge each for trace element quantifications through atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Since this is the first report on the measurements of trace elements in porcine saliva, a routine analytical validation study was performed for the quantification of all the studied elements. Moreover, the acute phase proteins C-reactive protein (CRP) and haptoblobin (Hp), the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) were quantified in the saliva samples for the animal's health status assessment. Results: Modifications in the levels of acute phase proteins or ADA were only recorded in animals with lameness and rectal prolapse and those with fatigue respectively. Moreover, TAC level changes were observed in pigs with growth-rate retardation. However, alterations in the levels of two or more trace elements were reported for all the different groups of diseased pigs with evident variations within pathologies. Conclusions:The salivary quantification of trace elements could be considered as a complementary tool to acute phase proteins, TAC and ADA determinations for disease detection and differentiation in the pig and should be explored in greater depth.
