Fidelity of the repertoire in T cell reconstituted athymic nude rats. Preservation of a deficit in alloresponsiveness over one year
A single intravenous injection of a relatively small number of T cells contained in the population of rat thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) is sufficient to restore to normal the peripheral T cell pool of athymic PVG.rnu/rnu nude rats. The donor T cells expand greater than 10-15-fold, self-renew, and restore immunocompetency to nude recipients permanently (greater than 2 yr). We asked whether the...
متن کاملHerpetic keratitis in athymic (nude) mice.
The inflammatory response to herpes simplex virus infection of the cornea was studied in athymic nude (nu/nu) and heterozygote (nu/+) BALB/c mice. Although athymic mice were highly susceptible to HSV infection and died 13 to 17 days after corneal inoculation, they failed to develop necrotizing keratitis of the cornea. Heterozygote mice survived the initial virual infection, but many of these mi...
متن کاملPathogenesis of K papovavirus infection in athymic nude mice.
The fatal outcome of K virus infection in infant mice and cytoxan-treated adult mice is related to their inability to mount a prompt antibody response to the virus. Athymic nude mice infected with K virus exhibited no clinical illness and no detectable virus-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response, but they did exhibit a low level of virus-specific immunoglobulin M response. Transfer of spleen...
متن کاملStudy of Camelpox Virus Pathogenesis in Athymic Nude Mice
Camelpox virus (CMLV) is the closest known orthopoxvirus genetically related to variola virus. So far, CMLV was restricted to camelids but, recently, three human cases of camelpox have been described in India, highlighting the need to pursue research on its pathogenesis, which has been hampered by the lack of small animal models. Here, we confirm that NMRI immunocompetent mice are resistant to ...
متن کاملEstablishment of a synovial sarcoma model in athymic nude mice.
BACKGROUND Synovial sarcoma represents one of the most frequent malignant tumours of soft tissues. Its prognosis is poor because of chemoresistance and high metastatic potential. Improvement of synovial sarcoma outcome requires well-characterized animal models in which to evaluate novel therapeutic options. The aim of this study was to establish a reproducible synovial sarcoma model in athymic ...
