In this study, we investigated the relative virulence of Schu S4 in comparison to A1a, A1b, A2 and type B strains using a temperature-based murine model of infection.
Grzenda et al. now examine the expression patterns of Ang-1 and its receptor Tie-2 during lung development in normal mice and in a nitrofen-based murine model of CDH.
Based on findings in a murine model of maternal transmission of asthma risk, we sought to test the role of the pro-asthmatic cytokines interleukin IL-4 and -13.
We investigated the role of the CXCL10/CXCR3 axis using a murine model of polymyositis based on a previous study on the chemokine profile of human IIM [ 6].
In this report we describe the methods we used to characterize this murine model of autoimmunity based on T cell intergrin overexpression.
The aim of the study was, therefore, to evaluate the effect of propylthiouracil (PTU), administered at a dose able to induce hypothyroidism, on the extent of fibrosis in a murine model of SSc, based on reactive oxygen species-mediated injury.
Based on successful establishment of a murine model of acute HBV infection, in the present study, we selected two different RNAi target sites of HBV, adopted the hydrodynamics method, transduced mice hepatocytes with lentiviral vectors, and observed the effects of RNAi on the replication of HBV in animal experiments.
We used an established murine model of coronary arteritis based on intraperitoneal injection of the cell wall extract of group B Lactobacillus casei (LCWE) (Lehman et al, 1988).
Our results indicate that As2O3 in drinking water impaired muscle regeneration and increased fibrosis (based on increased collagen staining) in a murine model of glycerol injury.
The contrasting evidence based on different murine models of arthritis suggests that endogenous GCs might play different roles during the onset and persistence phases of RA.
