Disease relevance of Mice, Inbred BALB C

 

Psychiatry related information on Mice, Inbred BALB C

 

High impact information on Mice, Inbred BALB C

  • Study of the genetically susceptible BALB/c mouse has shown failure to downmodulate IL-4 production in response to infection, a response that is critically associated with the failure to develop appropriate Th1 responses [10].
  • The continuously proliferating clones L/B AgA2, CB/Bm 7, Ba/C1, and Bc/Bm 11 were established from bone marrow of MRL/LPR, CBA/J, and BALB/c mice [11].
  • The immune response to phosphorylcholine in BALB/c mice has been well characterized [12].
  • Here we show that T. gondii uracil auxotrophs are completely avirulent not only in immune-competent BALB/c mice but also in mice that lack interferon-gamma [4].
  • A colon carcinoma cell line from BALB/c mice, CT26, was stably transfected with a vector encoding mouse CD95L and was inoculated into C57BL/6 mice [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Mice, Inbred BALB C

  • The effects of doxorubicin (DOX) and DOX entrapped in standardized liposomes [mean diameter, 0.15 micron; (DOX-Lip)] on the survival of mice bearing liver metastases of mouse colon carcinoma CT38LD (C57BL/6J mice) or CT26 (BALB/c mice) were investigated [14].
  • The growth of mammary adenocarcinomas in BALB/c mice fed a diet containing 10% corn oil (CO), which has about 60% of its fatty acids as linoleate, was significantly greater than that for tumors in mice fed diets containing either 10% hydrogenated cottonseed oil (HCTO), which has no linoleate, or 10% CO plus 0.003% indomethacin (IM) [15].
  • In previous studies we demonstrated that administration of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) to athymic BALB/c mice bearing intracranial human glioma xenografts resulted in highly selective depletion of glutathione in neoplastic tissue with minimal effects on contralateral normal brain tissue [16].
  • Development of resistance to MOPC-315 plasmacytoma after intralesional and intraperitoneal melphalan therapy of tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. I. Enhancement of in vivo rejection responses by combined chemotherapy-immunotherapy [17].
  • When ascites cells were inoculated sc into BALB/c mice receiving daily injections of 2 mg cortisol, tumors did not form [18].
 

Biological context of Mice, Inbred BALB C

 

Anatomical context of Mice, Inbred BALB C

  • These findings indicate that p53 alteration commonly occurs in spontaneously immortalized BALB/c mouse embryo fibroblasts passaged on a 3T3 schedule and, therefore, may be an important event for the immortalization process [24].
  • The induction of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells producing the polarized patterns of cytokines was not restricted to BALB/c mice, as cells from Ox sensitized C57B1/6 and B10.D2 mice produced the same patterns [25].
  • Regulation of azophenylarsonate-specific repertoire expression. 1. Frequency of cross-reactive idiotype-positive B cells in A/J and BALB/c mice [26].
  • Moreover, PC-immune lymph node cells could passively transfer PC-specific DTH responses to naive BALB/c mice and it was possible to demonstrate that the cells responsible for such passively transferred responses were T lymphocytes [27].
  • Structure of a gene encoding a murine thymus leukemia antigen, and organization of Tla genes in the BALB/c mouse [28].
 

Associations of Mice, Inbred BALB C with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Mice, Inbred BALB C

  • At 8 wk of infection, by which time lymphoid organs were repopulated with L3T4+ cells, GK1.5-pretreated BALB/c mice produced IFN-gamma, but not IL-4 message [33].
  • Neutralization of IL-4 in resistant BALB/c mice resulted in more severe arthritis whereas neutralization of IFN-gamma in susceptible C3H/HeJ mice attenuated the severity of disease [34].
  • Production of 40 pg/ml TNF-alpha by clone J2T12 consistently did not change the growth rate in vitro, but drastically suppressed tumor growth when injected into syngeneic BALB/c mice [35].
  • A single injection of 0.5-1 microgram of recombinant murine IL-10 reproducibly protected BALB/c mice from a lethal intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin [36].
  • Administration of HMG-1 to Balb/c mice significantly increased serum TNF levels in vivo [37].
