A capture ELISA for monitoring papillomavirus-induced antibodies in Mastomys coucha

Journal of Virological Methods, 2010
The present report describes the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), whereby the first insights have been obtained into the humoral immune response to papillomavirus (PV) infections of the rodent Mastomys coucha, a natural model for papillomavirus-induced skin carcinogenesis.

Inflammatory antigens of Brugia malayi and their effect on rodent host Mastomys coucha

Parasite Immunology, 2004
SUMMARY The study was aimed at identifying pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine releasing potential of Brugia malayi adult worm fractions and their role in filarial infection and pathogenesis. THP‐1 cells were incubated with soluble somatic Brugia malayi adult worm extract (BmAS) and its Sephadex G‐200 fractions BmAFI, BmAFII and BmAFIII and the effect ...

Storage of Gangliosides GM2 and Fucosyl GM1 in the Kidney of MCC Strain of Mastomys (Praomys coucha)

Journal of Biochemistry, 2009
Previously, we histochemically examined the kidney of the MCC strain of mastomys (Praomys coucha) and found the storage of gangliosides. In the present studies, the lipid-bound sialic acid content of gangliosides in the MCC kidney was about 9- to 14-fold higher than that of the control (MWC strain).

Infectivity and pathogenicity of Cryptosporidium andersoni to a novel host, southern multimammate mouse (Mastomys coucha)

Veterinary Parasitology, 2007
The infectivity and pathogenicity of Cryptosporidium andersoni (bovine isolate) for neonatal and adult southern multimammate mice (Mastomys coucha) was studied using transmission experiments. C. andersoni isolate used in this study was not infective for BALB/c mice, but experimental infection proved susceptibility of neonatal and adult M. coucha to the

Distribution of Trypanosoma congolense in infected multimammate rats (Mastomys coucha): light and electron microscopical studies

Veterinary Parasitology, 2002
In an attempt to determine whether Trypanosoma congolense occurs both within and outside the blood vessels in an infected animal host, multimammate rats (Mastomys coucha) were infected with T. congolense and samples from spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver, kidney, lungs, brain, heart, intestines, ovaries and testes were collected.

Bone Marrow Response to Acute and Chronic Trypanosoma congolense Infection in Multimammate Rats (Mastomys coucha)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2001
The femoral bone marrow of multimammate rats (n=90), aged 3-8 weeks, experimentally infected with different doses of Trypanosoma congolense was examined by light and electron microscopy. Some animals died from trypanosomosis, but groups of 10 were killed at 4-8, 9-16, 20-24, 30, 40, 50 and 60 days post-infection (dpi).

Mastomys natalensis or Mastomys coucha. Correct species designation in animal experiments.

Tropical medicine and parasitology : official organ of Deutsche Tropenmedizinische Gesellschaft and of Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), 1990
Haemoglobin electrophoresis and chromosome analysis indicate that the widely used multimammate rat (chamois coloured) as experimental animal belongs to the species Mastomys coucha (Smith, 1836) and not, as commonly assumed, to Mastomys natalensis (Smith, 1834).

Anti-inflammatory BmAFI of Brugia malayi modulates IgE, histamine and histamine receptor responses in Mastomys coucha

Acta Tropica, 2013
We recently reported that BmAFI, an anti-inflammatory fraction of Brugia malayi adult worm supports parasite development in the hostile peritoneal cavity (p.c.) of Mastomys coucha through a modified Th2 type of response that includes IL-13 and IgE response and anti-inflammatory IL-10 cytokine milieu.

Sequence analysis of cDNA encoding follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone β-subunits in the Mastomys (Praomys coucha)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2004
To examine the molecular basis of efficient superovulation in the Mastomys (Praomys coucha), the cDNA sequences of the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) beta-subunits were determined and compared with those of other mammals.

Sensitization with anti-inflammatory BmAFI of Brugia malayi allows L3 development in the hostile peritoneal cavity of Mastomys coucha

Acta Tropica, 2011
Filarial parasites survive by inducing tolerance in host but the antigens and mechanisms involved are not clear. Recently we found that BmAFI, a Sephadex G-200 eluted fraction of Brugia malayi adult worm extract, stimulates IL-10 release from THP-1 cells.
