Perhaps because the entire enterprise seemed a bit Monkees-like -- a huge corporation trying to manufacture spontaneous cool -- the breed registered only a small blip in popularity for the few years Spuds hawked suds.
The Watanabe breed develops spontaneous atherosclerosis [ 123, 124], but other breeds develop atheromatous lesions in conduit arteries after feeding with high cholesterol diets [ 112, 113, 125, 126].
The history of the Mangalica breeds dates back to the late 1700s when both spontaneous and conscious breeding started.
We showed previously that lymphomas from Golden Retrievers harbor defined, recurrent chromosomal aberrations that occur less frequently in lymphomas from other dog breeds, suggesting spontaneous canine tumors provide suitable models to define how heritable traits influence cancer genotypes.
Extensive experience with isotransplants of 27 different tumours (leukaemias, sarcomata, carcinomata), all of strictly spontaneous origin in laboratory bred mice of low cancer strains CBA/Ht and WHT/Ht, has revealed no evidence of tumour immunogenicity.
For the experiments requiring simultaneous deletion of Xist and reporter quantification, 2lox Xist[ 54] and Hprt-H2B-Citrine alleles were bred until a spontaneous recombination event brought the alleles in cis.
Also, Parp1 knockout accelerated medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma development upon irradiation in the background of Patched gene (Ptc1) heterozygotes and increased frequency of spontaneous liver cancer formation when bred with Ku80 heterozygotes, supporting the role of PARP-1 in genome maintenance.
To identify variations in egg quality, it is recommended to determine the spontaneous lethality rate of the fish breed.
Spontaneous lethality (SL) of the fish breed was determined on a regular basis and used as a measure of egg quality.
This study investigated the left ventricular function using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in small breed dogs affected with spontaneous HAC.
