  • Dose-response and time course experiments were performed on adult mice exposed dermally to CPS or CPO. (cdc.gov)
  • Keratin glycosylation decreased in all griseofulvin-fed mice, whereas keratin phosphorylation increased dramatically preferentially in mice expressing normal K18. (jci.org)
  • We recently described transgenic mice that express point-mutant human K18 (Ku, N.-O., S. Michie, R.G. Oshima, and M.B. Omary. (jci.org)
  • Here we show that mutant K18 expressing transgenic mice are highly susceptible to hepatotoxicity after acute administration of acetaminophen (400 mg/Kg) or chronic ingestion of griseofulvin (1.25% wt/wt of diet). (jci.org)
  • To clarify the pathophysiological roles of FGF-23 in these diseases, we generated its transgenic mice. (nih.gov)
  • The transgenic mice expressing human FGF-23 reproduced the common clinical features of these diseases such as hypophosphatemia probably due to increased renal phosphate wasting, inappropriately low serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D level, and rachitic bone. (nih.gov)
  • Indeed, several human diseases are characterized by attenuated repair responses and imbalances in the inflammatory response with increased number of infiltrating macrophages [ 3 - 5 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • These data indicate that there is a substantial species barrier for transmission of elk CWD to humans. (usda.gov)
  • For this reason, the infect humans, this virus can infect cordance between humans and ex- question about tumour site concor- several other species - including perimental animals. (who.int)
  • In this combined immunodeficiency (SCID) cancer is low in these species (as it chapter, some aspects of this issue mice, in which the human target is in humans), which renders cancer are discussed. (who.int)
  • B) A serial section from the same HuVV mouse immunolabeled for PrP by using monoclonal antibody (Purified [3F4], Cambridge Bioscience, Cambridge, UK). (cdc.gov)
  • Last, we showed that pre-exposure to SARS-CoV-2 could protect mice from severe pneumonia . (bvsalud.org)
  • Rapidly determining human exposure to BoNT is an important public health goal. (cdc.gov)
  • Keratins 8 and 18 (K8/18) are intermediate filament phosphoglycoproteins that are expressed preferentially in simple-type epithelia. (jci.org)
  • The licensed technologies enable the development of a clinically validated bispecific antibody format most similar to native antibodies, use natural mechanisms to generate long CDR3 antibodies to improve the chance of success against challenging drug targets such as GPCRs and ion channels, and increase access to transgenic mice expressing full human antibody diversity. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • The agreement also provides Gilead with non-exclusive rights to future AbTherx-developed transgenic mouse technologies, which will add to Gilead's existing portfolio of antibody discovery technologies. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • Combining this platform with our decades of experience in antibody discovery and developing transgenic mice, AbTherx is uniquely positioned to deliver the next generation of antibody therapeutics,' said Justin Mika, Chief Executive Officer of AbTherx. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • The company was founded by a leadership team with over 100 years of combined experience in antibody discovery and platform development, including development of the HuMAb Mouse ® technology, the most successful human antibody discovery platform with 13 marketed therapeutics. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • AbTherx's Atlas™ Mouse platform enables the development of a clinically validated bispecific antibody format most similar to native antibodies and uses natural mechanisms to generate long CDR3 antibodies to improve the chance of success against challenging drug targets such as GPCRs and ion channels. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • AbTherx is also increasing access to transgenic mice expressing full human antibody diversity. (bignewsnetwork.com)
  • Several genes encoding olfactomedin domain-containing proteins are expressed in the eye. (nih.gov)

  • Studies in animals infected experimentally with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of COVID-19, provide opportunities to study aspects of the disease that are not easily investigated in human patients. (nature.com)
  • The transgenic mice with the elk prion gene developed disease in approximately 4 months. (usda.gov)
  • More recently we have begun a programme to test the effect of antioxidant compounds on biochemical markers of heart disease in both animal and human trials. (otago.ac.nz)
  • The data suggests that MS-derived microbiota potentially contain factors that precipitate an MS-like autoimmune disease in mice, and more importantly, in humans. (genomeweb.com)
