TI  - Effects of Bordetella avium toxin on turkey tracheal organ cultures as measured 
      with a tetrazolium-reduction assay.
PG  - 136-9
AB  - Turkey tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) were exposed to one of the following 
      Bordetella avium fractions or controls: live B. avium, formalin-killed B. avium, 
      B. avium sonicate, heat-inactivated sonicate, culture supernatant, 
      heat-inactivated culture supernatant, phosphate-buffered saline, or brain-heart 
      infusion broth. After the TOCs were incubated for 2 hours with the bacterial 
      fractions, the cellular metabolism of each TOC was evaluated using a tetrazolium 
      chloride reduction assay, and cellular morphology was determined by light 
      microscopy. Additionally, bacterial fractions and controls were injected into 
      turkeys to test lethality. Although the bacterial sonicate was lethal for 
      turkeys, neither the sonicate nor any other B. avium fraction significantly 
      affected the metabolism or morphology of turkey TOCs.
