The relationship between vulnerability to temporary versus permanent threshold shifts in BALB, CBA/J and B6 inbred mice

چکیده
This study examines the dose-response relationship between TTS and PTS. Results indicate that susceptibility to TTS does not predict susceptibility to PTS and that long standing principles such as the equal energy hypothesis and early vulnerability period do not apply at low levels of noise.

Allogeneic chimerism with low-dose irradiation, antigen presensitization, and costimulator blockade in H-2 mismatched mice.
We have previously shown that the keys to high-level nontoxic chimerism in syngeneic models are stem cell toxic, nonmyelotoxic host treatment as provided by 100-cGy whole-body irradiation and relatively high levels of marrow stem cells. This approach was unsuccessful in H-2 mismatched B6.SJL to BALB/c marrow transplants, but with tolerization, stable multilineage chimerism was obtained. Ten mil...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of the T cell response to immunodominant determinants within hen eggwhite lysozyme of individual syngeneic hybrid F1 mice: implications for autoimmunity and infection.
Hybrid F1 mice derived from inbred parental mouse strains are extensively used as animal models of human autoimmune diseases and transplantation. It is generally believed that with regard to immunologic studies, hybrid F1 mice behave in a consistent manner, equivalent to any other inbred mouse strain. In this study, we report that in comparison to inbred parental strains, individual hybrid F1 m...
متن کاملMouse alloantibodies capable of blocking cytotoxic T-cell function. I. Relationship between the antigen reactive with blocking antibodies and the Lyt-2 locus
In an attempt to produce allonatibodies to cytotoxic T-cell receptors, hyperimmune anti-lymphocyte antisera have been raised in mice of various strain combinations, and have been tested for their ability to block allogeneic cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity (CML) in the absence of complement at the T killer cell level. Most of the sera failed to show any significant and reproducible inhibitory e...
متن کاملFrequency of natural regulatory CD4+CD25+ T lymphocytes determines the outcome of tolerance across fully mismatched MHC barrier through linked recognition of self and allogeneic stimuli.
We show in this study that long-term tolerance to allogeneic skin grafts can be established in the absence of immunosuppression by the combination of the following elements: 1) augmenting the frequency of regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (Treg) and 2) presentation of the allogeneic stimuli through linked recognition of allo- and self-epitopes on semiallogeneic F(1) APCs. BALB/c spleen cells enr...
متن کاملRole of genetic resistance in invasive pneumococcal infection: identification and study of susceptibility and resistance in inbred mouse strains.
From a panel of nine inbred mice strains intranasally infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae type 2 strain, BALB/c mice were resistant and CBA/Ca and SJL mice were susceptible to infection. Further investigation revealed that BALB/c mice were able to prevent proliferation of pneumococci in the lungs and blood, whereas CBA/Ca mice showed no bacterial clearance. Rapidly increasing numbers of bact...
