Lactoferrin enhances efficacy of the BCG vaccine: comparison between two inbred mice strains (C57BL/6 and BALB/c)

Tuberculosis, 2009
The current vaccine for tuberculosis (TB), an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG), is effective to prevent childhood onset of the disease, but its efficacy is reduced in adults. One strategy to improve the existing vaccine is to develop more effective adjuvants.

Dopamine D1 and opioid receptor antagonist-induced reductions of fructose and saccharin intake in BALB/c and SWR inbred mice

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2015
Sugar and fat intake in rodents are mediated in part by brain dopamine (DA) and opioid neurotransmitter systems although important strain differences exist. Thus, whereas sucrose intake of BALB/c and SWR mice was reduced by DA D1 (SCH23390: SCH) receptor antagonism, opioid (naltrexone: NTX) receptor antagonism reduced intake only in BALB/c mice.

[The determination of the oxidation phenotype in inbred C57Bl/6 and BALB/c mice].

Biulleten' eksperimental'noi biologii i meditsiny, 1991
Antipyrine oxidation was studied in C57BL/6 and BALB/c inbred mice. It was found that C57BL/6 are weak oxidant but BALB/c are strong oxidants of antipyrine. Animals F1 hybrids inherited the high capacity of antipyrine oxidation.

Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Sex and Age on the Hematological and Biochemical Profile of BALB/c and C57BL/6 Inbred Mice

Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science
Mice are the most commonly used models of infectious disease, and disease in mice is similar to that of humans. As a consequence, standard hematology and biochemistry reference values in mice are essential to evaluate functional changes caused by experimental treatments, although very few data in the literature provide a comparative reference range ...

Histamine-Induced Micro vascular Leakage in Pial Venules: Differences Between the SJL/J and BALB/c Inbred Strains of Mice

Journal of Neurotrauma, 1994
The actions of histamine on pial venule leaky site formation were measured intravitally in two inbred strains of mice (BALB/c and SJL/J). Pial venules were visualized using a cranial window microscopy technique, and microvascular leaky site formation was assessed visually using a fluorescein-dextran indicator.

Mast cell‐derived histamine and tumour necrosis factor: Differences between SJL/J and BALB/c inbred strains of mice

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1996
SummaryMast cells cultured from bone marrow of BALB/c and SJL/J inbred strains of mice using IL‐3 showed distinct patterns of growth and marked differences in their content of TNF‐α and histamine. Mast cells derived from SJL/J mice grew and matured at a faster rate than those from BALB/c bone marrow.

The infection characteristics of the antelope schistosomes, Schistosoma margrebowiei and S. leiperi, in inbred BALB/c mice and in Mastomys coucha

Journal of Helminthology, 1994
AbstractDetailed studies were carried out to assess the infection characteristics of the antelope schistosomes in BALB/c mice and Mastomys coucha. Both schistosome species reached sexual maturity in these hosts. However, they differed markedly in terms of egg production rates and preferred sites of tissue egg deposition. Tissue egg deposition commenced

Attenuated liver progenitor (oval) cell and fibrogenic responses to the choline deficient, ethionine supplemented diet in the BALB/c inbred strain of mice

Journal of Hepatology, 2007
Liver regeneration following chronic injury is associated with inflammation, the proliferation of liver progenitor (oval) cells and fibrosis. Previous studies identified interferon-gamma as a key mediator of oval cell proliferation. Interferon-gamma is known to regulate Th1 cell activities during immune challenge.

[Fecundity and embryonal mortality of four inbred strains of mice, BALB/c, B10.CW, A/Sn, CC57W and their hybrids].

Genetika, 1976
The object of this investigation was the potential fecundity of four inbred strains of mice, viz. BALB/c, B10.SW, CC57W, A/Sn and of their different hybrid combinations. The inbred strains studied had different normal ovulation numbers varying from 9,2 to 11,9 and different death-rate of embryos before (10,99-39,49%) and after (9,05-22,47%) the ...

Involvement of apoptosis and autophagy in reducing mouse hepatoma ML-1 cell growth in inbred BALB/c mice by bacterial fermented soybean products

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2011
Followed by the results of our previous in vitro report (Food Chem. Toxicol., 2007), the efficacy of the soybean fermentation products containing live bacteria (SCB) was demonstrated using a syngeneic animal model. Murine HBV-related hepatoma ML-1 cells, derived from inbred animals and tumorigenic in BALB/c mice, were implanted subcutaneously to the ...
