Molecular characterization and analysis of TLR-1 in rabbit tissues

The rabbit has great commercial importance as a source of meat and fur, as well as its uses as a laboratory animal for the production of antibodies, used to detect the presence or absence of disease and for research in infectious diseases and immunology. One of the most critical problems in immunology is to understand how the immune system detects the presence of infectious agents and disposes ...

Glucocorticoid receptors in fetal and adult rabbit tissues.

The specific interaction of glucocorticoids with fetal and adult rabbit tissues was studied in vitro. Specific cytoplasmic binding sites for [aH]dexamethasone were demonstrated in liver, thymus, kidney, lung, muscle, heart, small intestine, skin, brain, and placenta of the rabbit fetus as well as in liver, thymus, spleen, kidney, small intestine, and lung of the adult rabbit. In the rabbit fetu...

Steroid metabolism in ocular tissues of the rabbit.

The metabolism of cortisol and other steroids was studied in normal untreated rabbit iris-ciliary body and cornea as part of an investigation into the mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced glaucoma. Cortisol is readily converted to the inactive metabolite cortisone by these eye tissues indicating the presence of an 11beta-oxidoreductase system. This reaction is reversible with cortisone being con...
