β-Conglycinin (conglycinin) is one of the major seed storage proteins of soybean. Conglycinin is a 7S trimer composed of different combinations of β, α and α' subunits. All subunits of conglycinin have been reported to be allergenic in humans. The goal of this research is to identify epitopes of the β subunit of conglycinin that are antigenic in multiple animal species.


RESULTS
Sera from pigs, dogs, rabbits and hybrid striped bass that had antibodies against soybean conglycinin were identified by ELISA. Most of these sera recognized peptides that represent the β subunit of conglycinin. One antigenic region of the β subunit of conglycinin had considerable overlap among all species tested. One region that was similar to a peanut allergenic epitope in humans overlapped with a region that binds IgE from dogs. One region was antigenic in multiple rabbits and pigs, suggesting it may play a role in the response of pigs to soybean in the diet.


CONCLUSION
One region of the β subunit of conglycinin is an important antigen across species and abuts a region similar to the peanut allergen ARA h 1. A second region is particularly antigenic in pigs and rabbits. Variants of these antigenic regions of the β subunit of conglycinin may be useful in determining the role these regions play in the health of animals fed soybean. Published 2014.

Since a single minimum cull ring size is required in North Carolina and regional differences in blue crab shape may mediate its effectiveness, we also measured subsamples of male and mature female blue crabs to determine whether there were shape differences among estuaries. The cull ring sizes tested in Currituck and Core sounds were 58.7, 60.3, and 61.9 mm. The smallest two sizes were tested in the other five estuaries. We also varied the number of cull rings from two to four per trap. Thus, there were nine treatments in Currituck and Core sounds and six in the other estuaries. Three blue crab types dominated the catches: legal males (≥127 mm), sublegal males, and mature females. Increasing ring size and number did not significantly affect the catch per unit effort (CPUE) of legal males except in Currituck Sound, where they positively affected CPUE. Increasing ring size negatively affected the CPUE of sublegal males in all estuaries except eastern Pamlico Sound, where if had no effect. Increasing ring number negatively affected the CPUE of sublegal males in two estuaries: Currituck and Albemarle sounds. Increasing ring size negatively affected the CPUE of mature females in two pairwise cases in one estuary (Core Sound); ring size and number did not impact the CPUE of mature females in other estuaries. Despite the apparent differences in the shapes of blue crabs among estuaries, the influences of cull ring size and number were consistent. Our data indicate that a 1.6‐ or 3.2‐mm increase in cull ring size would not negatively impact the catch rates of legal blue crabs but would increase the escapement of sublegal blue crabs.}, number={4}, journal={NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT}, author={Rudershausen, Paul J. and Turano, Marc J.}, year={2009}, month={Aug}, pages={1152–1164} }

Approximately 840 HSB [mean weight (std.); 91.08 g (8.18)] were stocked into each pond (8400 ¢sh ha � 1 ;3 360 ¢sh acre � 1 ) and fed according to one of three feeding regimes. The three feeding regimes included a control (fed twice daily to apparent satiation), and cycles of 3 weeks feed deprivation followed by 3 or 6 weeks of feeding to apparent satiation (3/3 and 3/6 respectively). Compensatory growth (CG) was observed in both cyclic feeding treatments; however, the response was insuf¢cient for the ¢sh to completely regain lost weight. Final mean weight of control ¢sh (477.9 g) exceeded (Po0.05) that of ¢sh receiving the two cyclic treatments: 3/6 (404.7 g) and 3/3 (353.8 g). Speci¢c growth rate (SGR) of ¢sh in the 3/3 treatment increased during all three refeeding periods, and was signi¢cantly greater than controls during weeks 9^12 and weeks 15^18, which represent the refeeding phase of the second and third feeding cycles. Speci¢c growth rate for ¢sh in the 3/6 treatment was signi¢cantly higher than controls only during the ¢rst 3 weeks of the ¢rst feeding cycle. Hepatosomatic index and condition factor were highly responsive measures that closely followed the metabolic state of ¢sh on the feeding cycle. Of the water quality variables measured, total phosphorus was 32% lower in ponds receiving cyclic feeding versus control ponds. Soluble reactive phosphorus was 41% and 24% lower in ponds oiered the 3/3 and 3/6 cyclic feeding treatments, respectively, although, signi¢cant diierences (Po0.10) were only observed between control and 3/3 treatment ponds. Overall, CG was observed in HSB food¢sh grown in ponds, although 3 weeks of feed deprivation was excessive and did not allow for complete growth compensation. Weight loss during feed deprivation was in£uenced by pond water temperatures. Early season feed deprivation did not cause as much weight loss as during the second cycle later in the season. Further studies on shorter deprivation periods applied during moderate to low water temperatures are needed to identify feeding regimes that minimize weight loss and result in a complete CG response.}, number={14}, journal={AQUACULTURE RESEARCH}, author={Turano, Marc J. and Borski, Russell J. and Daniels, Harry V.}, year={2008}, month={Oct}, pages={1514–1523} }

In hybrid striped bass (HSB, Morone chrysops×Morone saxatilis), 3 weeks of complete feed restriction results in a catabolic state that, when relieved, renders a subsequent phase of CG. The catabolic state was characterized by depressed levels of hepatic Type I and II GH receptor (ghr1, ghr2) and igf1 mRNA, along with considerable decreases in plasma Igf1. The state of catabolism also resulted in significant declines in hepatic igf2 mRNA and in circulating 40 kDa Igf-binding protein (Igfbp). Skeletal muscle expression of ghr2 mRNA was significantly increased. Upon realimentation, specific growth rates (SGRs) were significantly higher than sized-matched controls, indicating a period of CG. Hepatic ghr1, ghr2, igf1 and igf2 mRNA levels along with plasma Igf1 and 40 kDa Igfbp increased rapidly during realimentation. Plasma Igf1 and total hepatic igf2 mRNA were significantly correlated to SGR throughout the study. Skeletal muscle igf1 mRNA also increased tenfold during CG. These data suggest that endocrine and paracrine/autocrine components of the GH–Igf axis, namely igf1, igf2, and ghr1 and ghr2, may be involved in CG responses in HSB, with several of the gene expression variables exceeding normal levels during CG. We also demonstrate that normalization of hepatic mRNA as a function of total liver production, rather than as a fraction of total RNA, may be a more biologically appropriate method of quantifying hepatic gene expression when using real-time PCR.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY}, author={Picha, Matthew E. and Turano, Marc J. and Tipsmark, Christian K. and Borski, Russell J.}, year={2008}, month={Oct}, pages={81–94} }

Little is known about the CG response in pond‐raised fish and whether hybrid striped bass (HSB), Morone chrysops × Morone saxatilis, might exhibit the rapid growth states or improvements in other production characteristics that may accompany the response. To evaluate the potential for CG in HSB culture, a 16‐wk growth trial in twelve 0.1‐ha earthen ponds was conducted. Approximately 2850 fish (mean weight ± SD = 3.2 g ± 1.1) were stocked into ponds and subjected to one of four cyclic feeding regimens. Treatment regimens included a control (0 wk, fed twice daily to apparent satiation) and cycles of 1, 2, or 4 wk of feed deprivation, followed by 1, 2, or 4 wk of feeding to apparent satiation. Fish in the 4‐wk feeding regimen were offered feed twice during the feed‐deprivation period (once every other week). Growth, specific growth rate (SGR), hepatosomatic index (HSI), intraperitoneal fat ratio, and condition factor (CF) were measured every other week, while overall growth, feed efficiency (FE) (FE = [weight gain/feed fed] × 100), and survival were calculated at the trial termination. The effect of these feeding regimens on water quality was examined by monitoring pH, turbidity, total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite–nitrogen, nitrate–nitrogen, soluble reactive phosphorus, and chlorophyll a weekly; total nitrogen and phosphorous biweekly; and dissolved oxygen and temperature twice daily. Cyclic feeding elicited CG; fish subjected to the 2‐wk regimen had a significantly higher SGR than 0‐wk controls during all but the final refeeding period. FE was higher for all fish in the cyclic regimens, although only FE for fish in the 2‐wk regimen was statistically greater (40%) than the controls. HSI was the most responsive measure and significantly decreased in the 2‐ and 4‐wk treatments during feed‐deprivation period and overcompensated during the refeeding period. CF also varied with feeding cycle and proved to be an effective nonlethal measure of predicting a CG response. No statistical differences in water quality parameters were observed. These data suggest that CG can be effectively induced in pond‐raised HSB and that the increase in FE warrants further research for practical application. Future pond studies with fingerling HSB fish should be conducted with emphasis on feed‐deprivation periods of 2 wk and refeeding periods of at least twice that of the feed‐deprivation period. }, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE WORLD AQUACULTURE SOCIETY}, author={Turano, Marc J. and Borski, Russell J. and Daniels, Harry V.}, year={2007}, month={Jun}, pages={250–261} }
