Project description
 

Identification of innate immune effectors in infected mice and dogs with E. coli pyometra en S. intermedius pyodermia, allows the selection of candidate renal markers. The determination of these markers should allow the detection of canine glomerulonephiritis in a subclinical stage. This is not possible with the standard renal markers used in the clinic, as these are either to aspecific or not sensitive enough.
