Transfer of the Shope virus from the cottontail to the domestic rabbit results in the formation of papillomas indistinguishable from those of the original host, but, in the majority of cases, such passage is associated with a loss of infectivity. The presence of virus in the domestic papillomas can be demonstrated by immunological technics, and loss of pathogenicity is referred to as masking. I...

A specific phosphatase for 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid (2,3DPGA’) has been reported by Rapoport and .Luebering (1) and by Sutherland et al. (2). Rapoport and Luebering (1) studied in some detail a number of the kinetic properties of glycerate2,3+liphosphatase from rat and rabbit skeletal muscle. Wide distribution of this phosphatase in animal tissues has been noted. While in this laboratory, Dr....

Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that maximal bronchoconstriction produces a greater degree of airway narrowing in immature than in mature rabbit lungs (33). To determine whether these maturational differences could be related to airway structure, we compared the fraction of the airway wall occupied by airway smooth muscle (ASM) and cartilage, the proportion of wall area internal to A...

A laboratory study was conducted to examine the efficacy of a novel immunomarking technique on Anaphes iole Girault, a minute parasitoid of Lygus spp. eggs. Adult A. iole were marked with the readily available mammal protein, rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG), by 3 different application methods. Adult parasitoids were marked internally by feeding them a honey solution spiked with rabbit IgG and ext...

hepatic coccidiosis is considered as a major problem in rabbits which mortality rate may go high as a result of unhygienic maintenance with overcrowding. this study was aimed to determine abundance and pathologic changes of hepatic coccidiosis in rabbits of northwestern iran. a total of 320 rabbits (110 new zealand, 110 angora, and 100 native) in different sex and age groups were randomly se...

iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. we aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

background tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. this study was designed to investigate the effects of basi...
