Herpetic keratitis in athymic (nude) mice.
The inflammatory response to herpes simplex virus infection of the cornea was studied in athymic nude (nu/nu) and heterozygote (nu/+) BALB/c mice. Although athymic mice were highly susceptible to HSV infection and died 13 to 17 days after corneal inoculation, they failed to develop necrotizing keratitis of the cornea. Heterozygote mice survived the initial virual infection, but many of these mi...
متن کاملB cell repertoire diversity in athymic mice
The extent of B cell repertoire diversity among nu/nu BALB/c mice has been assessed and compared with that of normal BALB/c mice. This was accomplished through the characterization of monoclonal, influenza hemagglutinin-specific antibodies by reactivity pattern analysis. The results indicate that the repertoire of athymic mice is equivalent in diversity to that of normal mice. Moreover, because...
متن کاملExperimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis induction in B cell-deficient mice.
Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) is an animal model for human myasthenia gravis (MG). Autoantibody-induced functional loss of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) at the postsynaptic membrane is an important pathogenic feature of both MG and EAMG. To evaluate the extent at which the humoral immune response against AChR operates in the pathogenesis of EAMG, we immunized B cell...
متن کاملExperimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Induction in Genetically B Cell–deficient Mice
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model for autoimmune central nervous system disease mediated by CD4 T cells. To examine the role of B cells in the induction of EAE, we used B10.PL (I-Au) mice rendered deficient in B cells by deletion of their mu chain transmembrane region (B10.PLmicroMT). By immunizing B10.PL and B10.PLmicroMT mice with the NH-terminal myelin basic ...
متن کاملT-cell lymphoma induction by radiation leukemia virus in athymic nude mice
We report the development of extrathymic lymphoblastic lymphomas in RadLV-inoculated congenitally athymic nude mice. Thus, a leukemogenic virus which appears to require the presence of a thymus for its replication in normothymic mice can infect and transform target cells in the absence of this organ in the athymic host. The cells of one of these lymphomas have been established in vitro as a per...
