A reduction in phagocytosis of FITC-dextran was observed in DCs from both mouse strains following 72 h BCG stimulation compared to nonstimulated control DC cultures (C3H/HeSn; P=0.0133, C3H/HeJ; P<0.0001).
The ability of TG1050 to induce HBV-specific polyfunctional T cells was assessed by ICS assay in three mouse strains following one injection.
A summary of cytokine production by in vitro DC cultures from both mouse strains following stimulation with different TLR ligands is given in Table 1 > -wrap-foot>.
The intrinsic susceptibility of C3H mice to reflux could explain why these strains are widely known to exhibit 'more severe' or 'chronic' UTIs compared with other mouse strains following experimental infection (Hopkins et al., 1998; Hannan et al., 2010).
CIA is a well-established mouse model of RA, which develops in susceptible mouse strains following immunization with heterologeous type II collagen (CII) emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and shares both immunological and pathological features with human RA [ 24].
Mouse pancreatic cancer progression models were developed by crossing different transgenic mice (KrasG12D, Pdx1-Cre and Trp53R172H/+) to generate a composite mouse strain carrying the following genotype: KC: KrasG12D; Pdx-Cre and KPC: KrasG12D; Trp53R172H/+; and Pdx1-Cre.
The following mouse strains were used: C57BL/6 mice, OT-I and OT-II mice.
The following mouse strains were utilized in this study: R26Tetß, Villin-rtTA (V3 and V5), R26rtTA*M2 (Hochedlinger et al., 2005), Tet-H2BGFP reporter mice (Tumbar et al., 2004), and Ngn3CreER™ (Gu et al., 2002).
The following mouse strains were used: Ezh2 fl/fl (Su et al., 2003), Tie2::cre (Proctor et al., 2005), ROSA26 mT/mG (Muzumdar et al., 2007) and Mmp9 −/− (Coussens et al., 2000).
The following mouse strains were used: C57BL/6 and C57/BL10 control strains as well as mdx [model for DMD: (69)], and four knockout (KO) strains named KO-Capn3 [model for LGMD2A: (70)], KO-Dysf [model for LGMD2B: (32)], KO-Sgcg [model for LGMD2C: (33)] and KO-Sgca [model for LGMD2D: (34)].
