چکیده

The passing of human tumour tissue through a series of immunodeficient nude mice (“serial passaging”) has been an important model system in cancer research for more than 40 years (Rygaard & Povlsen, 1969). Such xenograft models have the advantage of unlimited availability of live tumour tissue, allowing for repeated experiments on the same tumour. It has been shown by various techniques, including histology and DNA ploidy, that the transplants are stable over many passages and for several years (Povlsen et al., 1980). For most practical purposes it has been assumed that multiple xenografts, derived from a single xenograft sample, are more or less identical within a limited number of passages. Limitations of the system may be due to selection bias of tumour lines by their transplantability, the replacement of the human stroma by murine stroma cells and altered host/graft interaction as for example regarding drug metabolism and immunology. These limitations have to be addressed when interpreting the results of xenograft experiments. At our institution xenograft models are used in a Scand. J. Lab. Anim. Sci. 2006 Vol. 33 No. 1

P-77: Optimization of Ovine FSH Gene Expression in The Pichiapastoris System byRegulating The Culture Conditions

Background: Ovine follicle stimulation hormone (OFSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein and belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones. This hormone plays a key role in the function of the reproductive system: it is essential for sertoli cell function and spermatogenesis in testis and it stimulates the growth of ovulatory follicles in females. Ovine FSH hormone is a heterodimeric hormone consisti...

Reduced brain UCP2 expression mediated by microRNA-503 contributes to increased stroke susceptibility in the high-salt fed stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat

UCP2 maps nearby the lod score peak of STR1-stroke QTL in the SHRSP rat strain. We explored the potential contribution of UCP2 to the high-salt diet (JD)-dependent increased stroke susceptibility of SHRSP. Male SHRSP, SHRSR, two reciprocal SHRSR/SHRSP-STR1/QTL stroke congenic lines received JD for 4 weeks to detect brain UCP2 gene/protein modulation as compared with regular diet (RD). Brains we...

Cloning and secretory expression of VP2 gene of infectious bursal disease virus in eukaryotic cells

VP2 gene coding region of a vaccinal strain (D78) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was clonedin a eukaryotic expression vector, pSec Tag2A. The gene was placed downstream of Ig κ chain leadersequence, under the control of human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) immediate early enhancer and promoter. Theconstruct pSec Tag2A-VP2 was transfected in COS-7 cell line and the expression and secretion of...

Patterns of mitochondrial gene expression in rapeseed leaves (Brassica napus L.) at early growth stage in response to drought stress

Drought stress adversely affects a plant’s growth and productivity. Wide ranges of molecular disorders could be caused by the production of reactive oxygen radicals. Plant cells have developed potential systems to prevent such damage by scavenging and reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, both the genotypes of oilseed rape-tolerant and sensitive to drought-were exposed to p...
