Immunopathology of guinea pig autoimmune enterocolitis induced by alloimmunisation with an intestinal protein.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An enterocolitis has been induced in guinea pigs by alloimmunisation with a mucosal protein. A single dose of immunogen fails to provoke a synthesis of precipitant antibodies, but a high percentage of animals, injected with two or more doses, develop these antibodies. A specific cell mediated immune response was already detectable 30 days after a single dose of immunogen. At later periods and after multiple doses of immunogen positive results were still found, although in a lesser percentage of the animals. The pathology was characterised by the appearance of multiple mucosal ulcerations, congestion, oedema and localised haemorrhage. The target organs were mainly ileum and descending colon. At later periods a combination of mononuclear cell infiltration, fibrocytic proliferation and granuloma formation appeared together with the other lesions. When an intraluminal challenge was made 48 hours before death, a heavy mononuclear cell infiltration was present in the contact area. The lesions appeared to extend to areas which usually remained unaffected. The characteristic immunopathology of this autoimmune enterocolitis in guinea pigs possesses some of the features of human inflammatory bowel diseases and makes it a useful model for further studies.

Effect of Sodium Valproate on Ouabain-Induced Arrhythmia in Isolated Guinea-Pig Atria
Sodium valproate (SV), an antiepileptic drug has several mechanism of action. It inhibits voltage sensitive Na+ channels and reduces intracellular Na accumulation. These actions are similar to that of both phenytoin and carbamazepine. We have investigated the direct cardiac action of SV and its effects on ouabain-induced arrhythmia in isolated guinea-pig atria. The guinea-pig atrium was dissect...

Inhalational insulin was withdrawn from the market due to its potential to produce airway hyper-reactivity and bronchoconstriction. So the present study was designed to explore the acute effects of insulin on airway reactivity of guinea pigs and protective effects of salbutamol and ipratropium against insulin induced airway hyper-responsiveness on isolated tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pig. ...

Background: Adenosine receptors play an important role in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in cardiovascular system. This effect is through interaction with A1 type of G-protein-coupled adenosine receptors. The effect of N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), an A1-selective adenosine agonist, was studied on ouabain-induced toxicity in spontaneously beating isolated guinea pig a...
