Abstract Infection with Helicobacter pylori is the predominant risk factor for development of gastric cancer. Risk enhanced by specific H. virulence factors, diet, and inflammatory response. Chronic activation T helper (Th) 1 Th17 pathways contribute to inflammation. Previous work suggests that while IL-17 activates several antimicrobial components innate immune response, also required prevent ...

The immune function of wild animals has been rather little studied. Wild animals' immune function may differ from that of laboratory bred animals because of their different environments. This idea follows from the concept of resource partitioning in which animals distribute scarce resources to all aspects of life, including to costly immune responses. A logical extension of this idea is that th...

A double gene dose of mutant alleles at either the W or Sl locus produces the pleiotropic effects of anemia, sterility, lack of hair pigmentation, and lack of tissue mast cells. Coincidental development of forestomach papilloma and prepyloric ulcer was observed in about 40% of nontreated (WB X C57BL/6) F1-W/Wv mice raised in our laboratory. The stomach lesions of the W/Wv mice could be detected...

genetic manipulation in mice is becoming more feasible and affordable. An important part of mouse husbandry is euthanasia, which should be performed as painlessly and efficiently as possible. There are several ways in which laboratory mice are euthanized, two of which include carbon dioxide (CO2)induced asphyxia and cervical dislocation. CO2 overdose has been favored for euthanasia, because the...

BACKGROUND The determination of the osmolality of aqueous samples using a freezing point osmometer is a well-established, routine laboratory method. In addition to their use in clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories, freezing point osmometers are also employed in food testing laboratories. One application is the determination of the osmolality of milk. Although cow's milk is a natural product...

Host-parasite interactions are a key determinant of the population dynamics of wild animals, and behaviours that reduce parasite transmission and infection may be important for improving host fitness. While antiparasite behaviours have been demonstrated in laboratory animals and domesticated ungulates, whether these behaviours operate in the wild is poorly understood. Therefore, examining antip...

The mouse has rapidly become the mammalian model organism of choice in ageing research due to its relatively short lifespan, the proximity of its genome and physiology to humans, and most importantly due to its genetic pliability and the availability of mutant strains. Mouse models have provided great insights into the ageing process, which in its broadest sense is the progressive decline of bo...
