The approach combines color and texture properties to obtain a mask for skin regions, which is shown to be eeective for a wide range of shades and colors of skin.

Tumor in Nude Mice

Erythropoietin was measured by exhypoxic polycythemic mouse method in the course of a 64-yr-old male with renal cell carcinoma associated with erythrocytosis. Serum erythropoietin fluctuated with progression of the disease. Preoperative elevated erythropoietin (0.1 1 U/mI. p < 0.05) subsided after nephrectomy and again increased with developing lung metastasis (0.1 U/mI, p < 0.02). Erythropolet...

Experimental leprosy with nude mice.

In 1960, Shepard10) reported a model of experimental leprosy of mouse by means of footpad inoculation technic. This experimental leprosy has been widely utilized in the field of leprosy research, but grwoth of Mycobacterium leprae in normal mouse foot-pad is limited and maximum harvest of M. leprae from infected normal mouse foot-pad is about 106. Several studies were reported concerning immuno...

Established Breast Cancer Xenografts in Nude Mice

The c-los proto-oncogene has been implicated as a regulator of estro. gen.medlated cell proliferation. We have tested the tissue specificity and antitumor efficacy of a mouse mammary tumor virus-regulated antisense c-fos retroviral vector. Systemically administered vector could be detected in several tissues but was only expressed In breast epithelium, thus sup porting targeting to mouse mammar...
