Involvement of Mhc Loci in immune responses that are not Ir-gene-controlled [PDF]
, 1982 Twenty-nine randomly chosen, soluble antigens, many of them highly complex, were used to immunize mice of two strains, C3H and B10.RIII. Lymphnode cells from the immunized mice were restimulated in vitro with the priming antigens and the proliferative ...

Cocaine locomotor activation, sensitization and place preference in six inbred strains of mice
Behavioral and Brain Functions, 2011 Background The expanding set of genomics tools available for inbred mouse strains has renewed interest in phenotyping larger sets of strains. The present study aims to explore phenotypic variability among six commonly-used inbred mouse strains to both ...

Interfrontal Bone Among Inbred Strains of Mice and QTL Mapping
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The interfrontal bone (IF) is a minor skeletal trait residing between the frontal bones. IF is considered a quasi-continuous trait. Genetic and environmental factors appear to play roles in its development. The mechanism(s) underlying IF bone development

Large-scale albuminuria screen for nephropathy models in chemically induced mouse mutants [PDF]
, 2005 Background/Aim: Phenotype-driven screening of a great pool of randomly mutant mice and subsequent selection of animals showing symptoms equivalent to human kidney diseases may result in the generation of novel suitable models for the study of the ...

Immobilization induced osteopenia is strain specific in mice
Bone Reports, 2015 Immobilization causes rapid and massive bone loss. By comparing Botulinum Toxin A (BTX)-induced bone loss in mouse strains with different genetic backgrounds we investigated whether the genetic background had an influence on the severity of the ...

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]
, 2000 The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

Lysed Enterococcus faecalis FK-23 (LFK) Suppressing Allergic Responses in Mouse Models
Allergology International, 2005 Recently, several clinical trials have been published to discuss the possibility of probiotic supplementation, especially some products of lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains, in prevention and treatment of allergic ...
