Photobiology of Monodelphis domestica

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2000
The gray, short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica, has been used for photobiologic studies since 1984. The presence of a light-activated DNA repair pathway in the tissues of Monodelphis has been used to identify pyrimidine dimers in DNA as initiating events for a number of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced pathologies of the skin and cornea ...

Thalamic nuclei in the opossum Monodelphis domestica

Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, 2008
We investigated nuclear divisions of the thalamus in the gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) to gain detailed information for further developmental and comparative studies. Nissl and myelin staining, histochemistry for acetylcholinesterase and immunohistochemistry for calretinin and parvalbumin were performed on parallel series of ...

Blood Groups in a Marsupial (Monodelphis domestica)

Journal of Heredity, 1993
We produced alloimmune sera against erythrocytes of the marsupial, Monodelphis domestica. By absorption fractionation, six operationally monospecific blood typing reagents (hemolysins) were prepared. Using segregation analyses, we found that each reagent detects a blood group antigen controlled by an autosomal dominant gene.

Milk composition in an American marsupial (Monodelphis domestica)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1991
1. Twenty one sequential milk samples from an American marsupial (Monodelphis domestica) were analyzed. 2. The solids fraction was relatively low initially (10% w/w) and then increased to about 30% at mid-lactation where it remained until lactation ceased. 3.

The complement system of the marsupial Monodelphis domestica

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1998
The activation requirements and pathways of the serum C' system of the marsupial Monodelphis domestica were characterized using standard hemolytic procedures. The existence of distinct classical and alternative activation pathways was established on the basis of their ionic requirements, hemolytic capacity at different temperatures, kinetics of ...

ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ‐ INDUCED MALIGNANT MELANOMA IN Monodelphis domestica

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1989
Abstract—Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is involved in the etiology of cutaneous melanoma in humans. However, progress in understanding the mechanisms involved in induction of melanotic tumors by UVR has been hindered by lack of a suitable animal model.

Opossum (Monodelphis domestica): A Marsupial Development Model

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2008
INTRODUCTIONMonodelphis domestica is the most commonly used laboratory marsupial. In addition to the many factors that make it a convenient laboratory animal (small size, ease of care, nonseasonal breeding), it is the first marsupial whose genome has been sequenced.

Cellular immune response of a marsupial, Monodelphis domestica

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1991
Marsupials are interesting subjects for studies of comparative and developmental immunology because they separated from eutherian mammals over 100 million years ago and because the newborns are still in a fetal state. We studied cellular immunity in a fully pedigreed colony of the marsupial, M. domestica (commonly called the gray short-tailed opossum).

VH Repertoire of a Marsupial (Monodelphis domestica)

The Journal of Immunology, 1998
AbstractWhen contrasted with information available for placental mammals, very little is known about the development of immunocompetence in marsupials. Marsupials, however, provide interesting immunology problems, since most appear to be born at a stage of development much less mature than that of placental mammals.
