Liver Transglutaminases and Vitamin-A Deficiency in Hairless Mice

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 1996
In hairless mice, a moderate vitamin-A deficiency, without any clinical signs or weight changes, reduces the activity of soluble cytoplasmic hepatic transglutaminase without affecting the membrane form of the enzyme. This attack of soluble transglutaminase appears to be a biological marker of early deficiency. The relations between this disturbance and

Functional barrel cortex in ‘hairless’, nude mice

Brain Research, 2007
Although nude mice are not truly hairless, they demonstrate abnormal hair structure and growth patterns, which are related to their genetic state. Whereas wild-type mice are born with visible vibrissae, nude mice are distinguishable at birth by the lack of visible vibrissae, which do not appear until approximately postnatal day 6.

Skin photosensitization with topical hypericin in hairless mice

Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 1999
Hypericin, a naturally occurring photosensitizer, exhibits interesting in vitro photobiological activities, which suggest that the compound is a potential antipsoriatic agent. In this study, the possibility of hypericin penetrating the skin in photo-active concentrations has been studied.

The response of hairless mice to staphylococcal epidermolytic toxin

British Journal of Dermatology, 1973
SUMMARY A study of the effect of staphylococcal epidermolytic toxin in the progeny of Ahr × hrhr cross-bred mice revealed that hrhr mice were sensitive to the toxin at between 16 and 30 days of age. Such animals were more sensitive per g body weight than neonatal mice.

Hairless mice, human leprosy and thymus-derived-lymphocytes

Experientia, 1975
Die Vermehrung und Ausbreitung vonMycobacterium leprae in einem haarlosen Mausestamm wurde untersucht. Trotz Fehlen der T-Lymphocyten (zellulare Immunitat) wurden gleiche Resultate wie beim Mausestamm mit T-Lymphocyten-Aktivitat erzielt.

Spontaneous Hereditary Mutation for a Recurrent Hairless Condition in Mice

Nature, 1967
A SPONTANEOUS mutation has appeared in the thirty-first generation of a sib-mated control line in a radiation genetics programme being carried out at this laboratory. This mutation affects the hair coat and produces a hairless condition (Fig. 1) which appears intermittently in mutant mice. This communication provides a brief account of the mutation.

Mast cells in the skin of normal, hairless and athymic mice

Experientia, 1976
The skin of congenitally athymic nu/nu mice is rich in mast cells which stain metachromatically, contain histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, and participate in the PCA reaction. Mast cells of athymic mice have thus the attributes of normal mast cells.

UV-induced epidermal hyperplasia in hairless mice.

Photo-dermatology, 1986
Epidermal thickness and optical transmission were measured as functions of time in mice exposed daily to UV radiation. The experiments were performed to facilitate an evaluation of the optical influence of epidermal hyperplasia in the process of UV-carcinogenesis.

Experimental protoporphyria in hairless mice: Photodermatitis

1980
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an inheritable inborn error of human metabolism giving rise to an excess production and accumulation of the haem precursor protoporphyrin1–3. Increased concentrations of protoporphyrin can be demonstrated in, for example, erythrocytes, and to a smaller extent also in plasma.

Mast cells and elastosis in ultraviolet‐irradiated hairless mice

Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine, 1995
Earlier studies of ultraviolet (UV) irradiated hairless mice have suggested a relation between elastosis and mast cells. To examine whether such a relation exists, we examined groups of hairless mice irradiated with equal doses of UV. The narrow UV bands had peaks at 292, 300, 307, 317 and 336 nm.
