INOCULATION OF THYMUS IN SITU. The thymus of C57BL/Ka
نویسنده
چکیده
INOCULATION OF THYMUS IN SITU. The thymus of C57BL/Ka mice, aged 24 hr or less, was exposed by the technic described by Miller for neonatal thymectomy (10). A very small volume, less than 0.01 m], of RLV was injected into the right thymic lobe, using a 30-gauge needle; it was impossible to avoid some leakage of the inoculated material. The opening in the chest wall was sutured, and the babies were caged with BALB/c foster mothers (to avoid cannibalism by their own mothers) until old enough to wean.

Marrow-thymus interactions during radiation leukemogenesis in C57BL/Ka mice.
Transplantation of thymus and bone marrow cells from irradiated C57BL/Ka mice demonstrated the presence of potentially neoplastic cells in the thymus at 30 to 60 days postirradiation. During the same interval, no such cells could be detected in the bone marrow; moreover, the capacity of bone marrow cells to repopulate the thymus was impaired severely. These observations suggest that the primary...
متن کاملIn vivo infectivity of the fibrotropic C-type viral isolates from C57BL/Ka mice.
Of the three fibrotropic C-type viral isolates from C57BL/Ka mice, only the BL/Ka(B) virus is capable of infecting normal hematopoietic and lymphoid cell populations of C57BL/Ka mice in vivo, and none are tumorigenic. Inoculation of this virus alone into neonates resulted in transient replication in the bone marrow, spleen, and occasionally the thymus. Thymocytes could, however, be permanently ...
متن کاملThymic nurse cells and radiation leukemia virus induced thymic lymphomas in C57BL mice.
The selective thymotropism of radiation leukemia virus is an interesting example of specific interaction between an oncogenic agent and the differentiation pathway of a well-defined cell lineage. Indeed, the inoculation of RadLV in C57BL/Ka mice leads to the development of thymic lymphomas [4]. Only a few immature thymocytes can act as target cells for productive infection by RadLV [I]. Infecti...
متن کاملGrowth of FasL-bearing tumor cells in syngeneic murine host induces apoptosis and toxicity in Fas(+) organs.
In the current study, we investigated whether the growth of FasL-bearing tumor cells would induce apoptosis and toxicity in organs that express high level of Fas. Sera from C57BL/6 +/+ (wild-type) mice injected with syngeneic FasL(+) tumors, LSA, or EL-4, showed significantly higher levels of soluble FasL than that from the nontumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the soluble FasL was functional ina...
متن کاملThe 0 Antigenicity of Lymphoid Organs of Mice Bearing the Ehrlich Ascites Tumor1
Murine lymph node and thymus cells were tested for their sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of 0 antibodies at various intervals after i.p. implantation of the Ehrlich ascites tumor. Within 16 days after tumor inoculation, both thymus and lymph node cells of RIII mice became almost completely refractory to 0-AKR antibodies. In C57BL mice, thymus cells lost their sensitivity to 0-C3H antibodies...
