Determination of normal gastric emptying time and small intestinal transit time are useful in detecting gastrointestinal motility disorders and partial obstructions of the pylorus or small intestine. This study was conducted to evaluate iodixanol as a contrast agent in the gastrointestinal tract in New Zealand White rabbit. Twelve clinically healthy adult rabbits were prepared and kept for two ...

The protective capacity of the crude extracts from larval and nymphal stages of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum was examined in the New Zealand white rabbits. The rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups of five animals. The rabbits in groups 1 and 2 were immunized with crude extracts of larval and nymphal antigens, respectively and group 3 was served as control. Following challenge of each r...

A major involvement of IFNalpha in the etiopathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus has been suggested by clinical observations, including the increase of serum levels of this cytokine in patients with active disease. Supporting this hypothesis, we have shown that expression of IFNalpha from a recombinant adenovirus (IFNalpha Adv) precipitates lupus manifestations in genetically susceptible...

The white New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is frequently used as a model for in vivo studies. However, information on precautions when using this animal as an experimental model is limited. This review of the literature covers the gamut from the selection of the animal model all the way to its death, and describes procedures for transporting, raising, breeding, housing, administering ...

Ly49H(+) NK cells play a critical role in innate antiviral immune responses to murine CMV (MCMV). Ly49H(b6) recognition of MCMV-encoded m157 on infected cells activates natural killing required for host resistance. We show that mAb 3D10 (anti-Ly49H) recognizes comparable subsets of NK cells from New Zealand White (NZW), New Zealand Black (NZB), and C57BL/6 spleens. However, virus levels in the ...

Objective- The aim of the present survey was to evaluate whether the results of cardiac measurements using the VHS are a useful indicator of the origin of normal rabbits. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Forty seven adult healthy New Zealand White rabbits (25 male, 22 female) with age 10-18 months and weight 1.5-2.5 Kg. Procedures- To assess the influence of breed on the vertebral heart ...

It has been previously reported that the purified U. P. possessing remarkable Ca-reduction activity and circulating leucocyte effect in rabbit with dosage 1mg per kg is obtained by ethanol fractionation of the crude U. P. prepared from human urine by isoelectric precipitation. Further investigation led to the finding that Parotin-like substance exists in normal rabbit urine. This substance was ...
