Increased Survival following Tumorigenesis in Ts65Dn Mice
Epidemiologic results tend to suggest that adults with Down syndrome have a reduced incidence of cancer, but some studies have reached the opposite conclusion. In this study, we offer direct biological evidence in support of the notion that Down syndrome reduces incidence of multiple types of cancer. Previous studies showed that introduction of the Apc mutation into the Ts65Dn mouse model of Do...
متن کاملMapping loci for pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure susceptibility in mice.
DBA/2J (D2) and C57BL/6J (B6) mice exhibit differential sensitivity to seizures induced by various chemical and physical methods, with D2 mice being relatively sensitive and B6 mice relatively resistant. We conducted studies in mature D2, B6, F1, and F2 intercross mice to investigate behavioral seizure responses to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and to map the location of genes that influence this tra...

متن کاملPentylenetetrazol: failure to improve memory in mice.
Pentylenetetrazol purportedly improves memory in mice. Irwin and Benuazizi (1) suggested that pretrial doses of pentylenetetrazol improve short-term retention, that posttrial doses improve longer-term retention, and that the doses that facilitate retention are much less than those that produce convulsions. We tried to confirm the salient parts of their findings. Our method was similar to theirs...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus protects against cerebral malaria in mice.
Plasmodium falciparum has exerted tremendous selective pressure on genes that improve survival in severe malarial infections. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that is six to eight times more prevalent in women of African descent than in women of European descent. Here we provide evidence that a genetic susceptibility to SLE protects against cerebral malaria. Mice that...
