Pathogenesis of K papovavirus infection in athymic nude mice.
The fatal outcome of K virus infection in infant mice and cytoxan-treated adult mice is related to their inability to mount a prompt antibody response to the virus. Athymic nude mice infected with K virus exhibited no clinical illness and no detectable virus-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response, but they did exhibit a low level of virus-specific immunoglobulin M response. Transfer of spleen...
متن کاملStudy of Camelpox Virus Pathogenesis in Athymic Nude Mice
Camelpox virus (CMLV) is the closest known orthopoxvirus genetically related to variola virus. So far, CMLV was restricted to camelids but, recently, three human cases of camelpox have been described in India, highlighting the need to pursue research on its pathogenesis, which has been hampered by the lack of small animal models. Here, we confirm that NMRI immunocompetent mice are resistant to ...
متن کاملExperimental Q fever infection in congenitally athymic nude mice.
Congenitally athymic nude (nu/nu) mice and their phenotypically normal (nu/+) euthymic littermates were exposed to Coxiella burnetii administered as small-particle aerosols. After challenge, both strains of mice became infected, as characterized by rickettsemia, viable rickettsiae in the spleen, and serological conversion. The major difference noted was that euthymic animals had cleared rickett...
متن کاملChronic chlamydial genital infection in congenitally athymic nude mice.
Congenitally athymic nude mice and their heterozygous counterparts were inoculated intravaginally with the chlamydial agent of mouse pneumonitis, a Chlamydia trachomatis biovar. Heterozygous mice resolved their infections in 20 days, whereas nude mice developed chronic infections which lasted at least 265 days and did not resolve within the time course of the experiments. Heterozygous mice prod...
متن کاملPersistent Cryptosporidium infection in congenitally athymic (nude) mice.
Nude (nu/nu) BALB/c mice and their white (nu/+) littermates were experimentally infected with Cryptosporidium sp. at 6 days of age. In white mice, the infection was transient, but in nude mice a persistent infection developed that was characterized by diarrhea and, occasionally, death. There were villus atrophy and crypt hyperplasia in the small intestine of infected nude and white mice necrops...
