Genetic studies of the Syrian hamster v. white band

Studies of rabies street virus in the Syrian hamster.

Studies of skin carcinogenesis in the Syrian golden hamster.

The carcinogens 9,10-dime thy 1-1,2-benzanthracene, 20-methylcholanthrene, 3,4benzpyrene, 1,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene, 1,2-benzanthracene, and 2-anthramine have been tested topically in the Syrian golden hamster. The mouse skin tumor-promoting agents, croton oil and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60), have been tested on hamster skin following a single applica tion of 9,10-dimethyl-l...

Studies of Skin Carcinogenesis in the Syrian Golden Hamster*

Identification of the Syrian hamster cardiomyopathy gene.

The BIO14.6 hamster is a widely used model for autosomal recessive cardiomyopathy. These animals die prematurely from progressive myocardial necrosis and heart failure. The primary genetic defect leading to the cardiomyopathy is still unknown. Recently, a genetic linkage map localized the cardiomyopathy locus on hamster chromosome 9qa2.1-b1, excluding several candidate genes. We now demonstrate...

The induction of malignant melanomas in Syrian white hamster by neonatal exposure to urethan.

Urethan was administered to newborn Syrian white hamsters to disclose their neoplastic competence. The first treatment was given within 24 hr of birth, and four subse quent injections were given at 3-day intervals. The survivors were sacrificed at 120 weeks of age. The urethan-treated animals developed malignant melano mas which metastasized to regional lymph nodes, lungs, kidneys, and liver. N...
