Fine mapping of bone structure and strength QTLs in heterogeneous stock rat [PDF]
We previously demonstrated that skeletal structure and strength phenotypes vary considerably in heterogeneous stock (HS) rats. These phenotypes were found to be strongly heritable, suggesting that the HS rat model represents a unique genetic resource for

Mycophenolate mofetil inhibits lymphocyte binding and the upregulation of adhesion molecules in acute rejection of rat kidney allografts. [PDF]
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) interacts with purine metabolism and possibly with the expression of adhesion molecules. In the present study, we analysed the expression of these molecules in transplanted kidney allografts treated with RS LBNF1 kidneys were ...

Induction of donor-specific transplantation tolerance to skin and cardiac allografts using mixed chimerism in (A + B → A) in rats [PDF]
Mixed allogeneic chimerism (A + B → A) was induced in rats by reconstitution of lethally irradiated LEW recipients with a mixture of T-cell depleted (TCD) syngeneic and TCD allogeneic ACI bone marrow. Thirty-seven percent of animals repopulated as stable

Donor species complement after liver xenotransplantation: The mechanism of protection from hyperacute rejection [PDF]
Hamster hearts transplanted into stable rat recipients of hamster livers (OLT rats) were hyperacutely rejected after transfer with unaltered rat antihamster hyperimmune serum (HS).

Heterotopic heart transplantation in the rat receiving FK-506 alone or with cyclosporine. [PDF]
In rats, FK significantly prolonged heterotopic heart graft survival over a wide dose range when given for 2 weeks starting on the day of the operation.

We show that females of the stick‐insect Megacrania batesii transfer defensive alkaloids to their offspring, providing a novel example of maternal provisioning. We also provide evidence that provisioning is enhanced by parthenogenetic reproduction in this species.

Platelet-activating factor and hyperacute rejection: The effect of a platelet-activating factor antagonist, sri 63-441, on rejection of xenografts and allografts in sensitized hosts [PDF]
The pathogenesis of hyperacute transplantation reactions includes the activation of a cascade of nonspecific inflammatory reactions that precipitates the destruction of the target organ.

Abstract Background The characteristic feature of immune cytopenias involves the process of extravascular phagocytosis, wherein macrophages in the spleen and/or liver engage in the destruction of blood cells that have been opsonized by auto‐ or alloantibodies.
