SP-0514: Small animal irradiators

Problems with irradiators.

In Japan, where all cell concentrates are irradiated because of an unusually high risk of transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) due to the high percentage of HLA homozygous subjects in the population, there have been problems with the breakdown of IBL gamma irradiators. When an irradiator breaks down, it is often found to be difficult for the agencies, or even the manufacturer...

Small animal PET imaging.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is well established as an important research and clinical molecular imaging modality. Although the size differences between humans and rodents create formidable challenges for the application of PET imaging in small animals, advances in technology over the past several years have enabled the translation of this imaging modality to preclinical applications. In ...

INTRODUCTION Historically, studies from our research group have involved intracellular pathogens in the Genera Babesia, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, and more recently, Bartonella. In regard to the study of these obligate intracellular or in the case of Bartonella sp., highly fastidious pathogens, clinical, as well as more basic research initiatives, have been hampered by difficulties associated with ...
