The Gut Microbiota of Wild Mice
The gut microbiota profoundly affects the biology of its host. The composition of the microbiota is dynamic and is affected by both host genetic and many environmental effects. The gut microbiota of laboratory mice has been studied extensively, which has uncovered many of the effects that the microbiota can have. This work has also shown that the environments of different research institutions ...
متن کاملImmune Responses to Antigens of in vitro Reared Echinococcus granulosus Adult Worms in Balb/c Mice
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. It enhances both humoral and cellular (Th1 and Th2) responses in infected host. Different antigens of the worm may favor the Th1 or Th2 immune responses in CE patients. Objective: To evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of Balb/c mice agai...
متن کاملImmune Responses to Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Treatment and Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Mice
Compelling evidence demonstrates the pivotal role of the commensal intestinal microbiota in host physiology and the detrimental effects of its perturbations following antibiotic treatment. Aim of this study was to investigate the impact of antibiotics induced depletion and subsequent restoration of the intestinal microbiota composition on the murine mucosal and systemic immunity. To address thi...
متن کاملMicrobiota control immune regulation in humanized mice.
The microbiome affects development and activity of the immune system, and may modulate immune therapies, but there is little direct information about this control in vivo. We studied how the microbiome affects regulation of human immune cells in humanized mice. When humanized mice were treated with a cocktail of 4 antibiotics, there was an increase in the frequency of effector T cells in the gu...
متن کاملHuman-like immune responses in CD46 transgenic mice.
Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of sepsis and/or meningitis. These bacteria normally cause disease only in humans, however, mice expressing human CD46 are susceptible to meningococcal disease. To explain the sensitivity of CD46 transgenic mice to meningococci, we evaluated early immune responses. Stimulation of TNF, IL-6, and IL-10 was stronger in CD46 transgenic mice compared with nont...
