An inhibitory rat mAb, SER-4, has been raised to the mouse macrophage (M phi)-restricted hemagglutinin, sheep erythrocyte receptor (SER), which binds unopsonized sheep erythrocytes through recognition of sialylated glycoconjugates. This receptor was originally defined on mouse resident bone marrow M phi where it was implicated in adhesive interactions of these cells with proliferating hematopoi...

Administration of poly-dispersed acid-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (AF-SWCNTs, 10 µg intravenously on alternate days) induced a sustained anemia in mice. Using a modified double in vivo biotinylation (DIB) technique, blood counts of reticulocytes and erythrocytes of different age groups were simultaneously enumerated in control and AF-SWCNT treated mice. A sustained reticulocyt...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antitumour activities and genotoxic effects of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) combined with cyclophosphamide (CP) in vitro and in vivo. U14 cells were treated with either of ISL (5-25 μg/mL) or CP (0.25-1.25 mg/mL) alone or with combination of ISL (5-25 μg/mL) and CP (1.0 mg/mL) for 48 h. The proliferation inhibitory effect in vitro was evaluated by MTT and co...

The reduced immunological responsiveness of neonatally thymectomized rodents has been reversed far more effectively with cells from spleen, lymph nodes, and thoracic-duct lymph than with cells from either thymus or bone marrow.' In heavily irradiated mice, an inoculum containing a mixture of marrow and thymus cells allowed the production of more hemolysins against sheep erythrocytes than could ...

Background: In recent years, there has been a surge in interest studying plant-derived materials and their impact on DNA. Herbal products include number of natural substances that may help protect cells against mutagen-induced cell damage.
 Aim: The purpose this research was to assess the genotoxic effects Cassia Auriculata Linn flavonoids (CAF) saponin (CAS) rich fractions mouse bone marr...

The present study evaluates the acute toxicity of synthetic grape, plum and orange flavourings in root meristem cells of Allium cepa at the doses of 3.5, 7.0 and 14.0 mL/kg and exposure times of 24 and 48 h, and in bone marrow erythrocytes of mice treated orally for seven days with 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mL/kg of flavouring. The results of the plant test showed that grape, plum and orange ...

Beta-caryophyllene (BC) is a chemical found in the essential oil of numerous plants which have shown various biomedical properties. In the present investigation we examined for the first time its genotoxic capacity in vivo by evaluating its potential to induce micronuclei in mouse. In a first assay we administered three doses of the compound once, and in a second assay, we administered three do...

Erythrocytes play an essential role in the delivery of oxygen from the lung to every organ; a decrease in erythrocytes (anemia) causes hypoxic stress and tissue damage. To maintain oxygen homeostasis in adult mammals, when the kidney senses hypoxia, it secretes an erythroid growth factor, erythropoietin (Epo), which stimulates erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. Recently, studies using genetical...
