Perfluorooctanoic Acid–Induced Immunomodulation in Adult C57BL/6J or C57BL/6N Female Mice
BACKGROUND Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), an environmentally persistent compound of regulatory concern, has been reported to reduce antibody responses in mice at a single dose. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate PFOA effects on humoral and cellular immunity using standard assays for assessing immune function, and to derive dose-response data. METHODS C57BL/6J mice received 0 or...
متن کاملImmunomodulation by the Female Sex Hormones
Pregnancy is a highly regulated process, requiring strict control of the immune system in order to prevent rejection of the semiallogenic foetus. One aspect of pregnancy immunology that has been of great interest is the influence of female sex and pregnancy associated hormones, such as progesterone and oestrogen, on cells of the immune system. This review evaluates studies investigating the abi...
متن کاملImmunomodulation with Kamdhenu Ark in Mice
Chauhan, R.S.; Singh, B.P. and Singh, L.K. 2001. Immunomodulation with Kamdhenu ark in mice. J. Immunol. Immunopathol., 3: 74-77. The immunomodulatory effect of Kamdhenu ark was studied on 20 mice divided into 2 groups. Groups I was kept as control while group II mice were given 1 ml Kamdhenu ark in water for a period of 90 days. Results indicated that there was increased Band Tlymphocyte blast...
متن کاملImprovements in mucopolysaccharidosis I mice after adult retroviral vector-mediated gene therapy with immunomodulation.
Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) is caused by deficient alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA) activity and results in the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans and multisystemic disease. Gene therapy could program cells to secrete mannose 6-phosphate-modified IDUA, and enzyme in blood could be taken up by other cells. Neonatal retroviral vector (RV)-mediated gene therapy has been shown to reduce the manifesta...
متن کاملLitter size predicts adult stereotypic behavior in female laboratory mice.
Stereotypic behaviors are repetitive invariant behaviors that are common in many captive species and potentially indicate compromised welfare and suitability as research subjects. Adult laboratory mice commonly perform stereotypic bar-gnawing, route-tracing, and back-flipping, although great individual variation in frequency occurs. Early life factors (for example, level of maternal care receiv...
