Genetic studies of the syrian hamster VII. Independence data

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...

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...

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis in the Syrian Hamster

The virus of lymphocytic choriomeningitis produces an intense systemic infection in Syrian hamsters with few if any clinical and pathological signs of disease. Specific soluble antigen is demonstrable in the spleen of infected animals until about the 14th day when antisoluble substance antibodies make their appearance. Circulating virus disappears after the 4th week and neutralizing antibodies ...
