The laboratory recombinant haplotype H-1acl of the Norway rat has been used in studies of the rejection and passive enhancement of kidney allografts. While the full H-1a haplotype provoked acute rejection, neither of the isolated subregions, H-1Aa and H-1Ba, did so. It was also found that alloantisera raised against either the H-1Aa or the H-1Ba antigens would enhance the grafts. It is suggeste...

An 18-month-old male Brown Norway (BN) rat showed a grayish-white subcutaneous mass in the right cheek. Histologically, the mass was composed of highly pleomorphic cells producing collagen. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the tumor cells were strongly positive for vimentin and partially positive for Ki-67; however, they were negative for ED-1, ED-2, S-100, cytokeratin, desmin and myogl...

I review below some of the research on social learning in Norway rats carried out in my laboratory from 1969 to 1980. Two independent lines of research arc discussed; both involve analysis in the laboratOry or possible instances of social learning first described by observers or frec-livin!" wild rats. Tht' 1st research program analyzes social interactions important in the transmission of karnc...

Recent studies suggest that the tissue/organ proportions of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK) subunits from diverse strains of rat may be drastically different. To test this possibility rigorously, the PFK isoenzyme populations and subunit contents in muscle, liver, brain and heart were examined in the following strains: Wistar, ACI, Long Evans, Norway Brown and Wag/Rij. Regardless of the strain, ...

Tryptophan was isolated from rat feces as an active compound against ovalbumin permeation in an in vitro Caco-2 cell model. Tryptophan dose-dependently inhibited ovalbumin permeation with accompanying increase in transepithelial electric resistance, and its inhibitory activity reached a plateau at 10 mM. Brown Norway rats were sensitized by intragastric administration of ovalbumin together with...
