Evaluation of the maternal role in survival of suckling mice

Zusammenfassung Das Überleben der von der eigenen Mutter und von stammesfremden «Ammen» gesäugten Jungen wurde untersucht an Mäusen der Stämme AKR/Sp, PL/Sp und C57BL/Sp. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die genetische Herkunft der Säuglinge wie auch andere, nicht genetisch bedingte Einflüsse der Mutter auf die Jungen in utero für das Überleben der Jungen ausschlaggebend ist.

Mastocytosis in suckling mice

Summary In suckling mice injected intraperitoneally with mitomycin C on the 1st to 5th day after birth and sacrificed in the course of 24 or 48 h after injection, mastocytosis occurred in the oral mucosa membrane, skin of the trunk or extremities and bone marrow of extremities.

Dysdifferentiation of the neural crest cells in the suckling mice

Zusammenfassung Nachweis, dass bei Entwicklungsstadien von Mäusesäuglingen, die mit Mitomycin C injiziert wurden, Hyperplasien mit Melanin-Ablagerungen auftraten, was mit «Dysdifferenzierungen» von Zellen der Neuralleisten zusammenhängen dürfte.     

Relationships between neural crest cells and catecholamine in suckling mice

Summary In suckling mice injected i.p. with a 27 mg/kg dose of L-hydrochloric acid isoproterenol, multiple neural crest tumors developed and cell death of neural crest cells occurred. It is speculated that neural crest derivatives may be -receptor cells and contain regulatory units of neurotransmission mediated through cyclic AMP.     

Multiple oncogenesis of neural crest cells by steroids in suckling mice

Summary In suckling mice injected with steroids, multiple tumors occurred in the sites where neural crest cells normally are present. It is speculated that the phase of the cell cycle of the neural crest cells may have something to do with its cell surface and cellular phenotypic expression in the system mediated by cyclic AMP.

In suckling mice injected i.p. with a 27 mg/kg dose of L-hydrochloric acid isoproterenol, multiple neural crest tumors developed and cell death of neural crest cells occurred. It is speculated that neural crest derivatives may be beta-receptor cells and contain regulatory units of neurotransmission mediated through cyclic AMP.

Comparison of the cell cycle and cell migration in the intestinal epithelium of suckling and adult mice

Zusammenfassung Die Zellwanderung sowie die Zellvermehrung in den Krypten und auf den Zotten der Dünndarmwandung werden bei säugenden Mäusen mit dem Adulttier verglichen. Die scheinbar herabgesetzte Zellmigration ist auf das bei jungen Mäusen stattfindende Wachstum der Krypten und Zotten zurückzuführen, ist also nicht geringer als bei adulten Tieren.     

Induction of developmental anomalies in mice by maternal stress

Summary The short-time restraint of pregnant mice on day 8 of gestation led to a significant increase of the anomaly rate in fetuses. This effect may be due to stress factors of endocrine origin.The technical assistance of Mrs E. Frei is gratefully acknowledged.

Daunomycin and skin allografts survival in mice

Riassunto L'effetto immunodepressivo della Daunomicina è stato studiato sulla sopravvivenza del trapianto cutaneo nel topo. La Daunomicina détermina un aumento del tempo di sopravvivenza del trapianto cutaneo, statisticamente significativo. Gli AA. discutono l'importanza che possono assumere le dosi, la via di somministrazione e lo schema di trattamento impiegato.     

Multiple APUD system (neural crest) tumors caused by endotoxin in suckling mice

Summary In suckling mice injected i. p. with endotoxin on the 1st day after birth and surviving up to the 4th day, multiple tumors and heterotopic melanin pigmentation occurred in the sites where the neural crest cells may be present.     

Prolongation of the survival of skin grafts in mice by PUVA treatment

The combined application of psoralen and UVA radiation to skin grafts induced a prolongation of the survival time of the grafts in mice. This was observed using the H-Y barrier, an allogeneic barrier without H-2 disparities, and a strong H-2 incompatible barrier. The effect is probably due to a reduction of antigen-presenting cells, or to other, unknown mechanisms.

The role of sialic acid in determining the survival of circulating interferon

Summary Rabbit interferon has been extensively desialylated and its metabolic behaviour has been evaluated in the rabbit. The half-life of asialointerferon is significantly shorter than the native interferon and its urinary excretion becomes negligible. Moreover the rapid uptake of asialointerferon by the isolated and perfused rabbit liver, suggests a hitherto unsuspected catabolic pathway for this glycoprotein.This work was supported by a grant from the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Roma (subproject on antiviral therapy), contract No. 76.00646.84).
