Separation and partial characterization of guinea-pig caseins

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig

Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

Properties of Guinea Pig 7s Antibodies I. Electrophoretic Separation of Two Types O]~ Guinea Pig

Antibodies can be considered to be molecules with two distinct sets of properties: the capacity to react specifically with antigen, and the capacity to mediate a variety of biological reactions. Some of these are: anaphylaxis, which in the guinea pig may depend upon the ability of these molecules to react with unidentified tissue receptors (1) or cell lysis (2, 3) and opsonization (4, 5) which ...

Guinea pig immune response-related histocompatibility antigens. Partial characterization and distribution

We have previously demonstrated that guinea pig alloantisera directed at strain 2 and strain 13 membrane antigens block specific lymphocyte activation in immune response gene-controlled systems. In this communication we describe the partial characterization of the antigens against which these antisera are directed (the 2 and 13 antigens) and, in addition, that of the B antigen which by distribu...
