Susceptibility to infection with Brachylaima cribbi was studied in eight strains of inbred mice (AKR, C3H/HeJ, CBA/CaH, BALB/c, DBA/2J, SJL/J, A/J, C57BL/6J) and Swiss albino outbred mice by quantifying faecal egg excretion over the period of the infection. Preliminary experiments indicated that a combination of filtration/sedimentation/diethyl ether sedimentation was the most sensitive and reliable technique for quantification of eggs in faeces. Mice were infected with 13-15 wild-type B. cribbi metacercariae from naturally infected Cernuella virgata and in a second experiment with human-derived B. cribbi from laboratory-reared Helix aspersa. In both experiments C57BL/6J mice were the most susceptible having the highest egg excretion levels and the longest duration of infection. Worm burdens were assessed at 12 wpi for the wild-type and at 9 wpi for the human-derived infections, when the majority of mice were no longer excreting eggs. The numbers of worms recovered from the small intestine were few and there were no significant differences among the inbred or outbred groups of mice. We have found that C57BL/6J mice were the most susceptible to Brachylaima cribbi infection as assessed by excretion of eggs and provide a suitable model for a laboratory life-cycle. 相似文献

PECAM is a molecule used specifically during the diapedesis step when neutrophils and monocytes leave the blood compartment. Anti-PECAM reagents, such as Abs and soluble fusion proteins, block diapedesis both in vivo and in vitro. However, the PECAM knockout mouse in C57BL/6 strain has no serious defects in most models of inflammation. We show in this study that the same PECAM knockout backcrossed into the FVB/n strain clearly has reduced leukocyte emigration in two models of inflammation. Furthermore, we show that anti-PECAM reagents can block leukocyte emigration in several other wild-type strains of mice like FVB/n, SJL, and the outbred strain Swiss Webster. This clearly shows that the C57BL/6 strain is uniquely able to compensate for the loss of PECAM function. Murine models of inflammatory disease that have been studied using C57BL/6 mice should be re-evaluated using FVB/n or other mouse strains to determine whether PECAM plays a role in those models. 相似文献

品系对小鼠胚胎干细胞分离效率的影响 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
为了充分利用小鼠胚胎干(ES)细胞,就必须从众多小鼠品系中分离ES细胞系。本研究通过传统的成纤维细胞饲养层法,从CD-1、129/Sv、C57BL/6J和129/Sv×C57BL/6J四种不同遗传背景的小鼠中分离得到12个ES细胞系,而从KM小鼠没有得到ES细胞系。所有的ES细胞系都具有典型的ES细胞特征,AKP染色呈阳性。从四种不同遗传背景的ES细胞系得到了包含多种组织的畸胎瘤;与桑椹胚聚合后,都得到了生殖系嵌合体。结果表明:品系对小鼠ES细胞的分离有显著影响,利用129小鼠以及包含129小鼠遗传背景的杂交小鼠都较容易分离ES细胞,由ES细胞得到生殖系嵌合体的效率在不同品系间有显著差异,从杂交ES细胞比近交ES细胞中更容易得到生殖系嵌合体。 相似文献

Two different materials-aspen wood-wool and paper towel-were compared as nesting material for three inbred mouse strains (BALB/c, C57BL/6J and DBA/2) housed in barrier conditions. In addition, the effect of varying the number of females per cage (one to three per cage) of these three strains and with NIH/S outbred mouse stock was studied. The number of litters, litter size and neonatal mortality were determined, as well as age, sex and weight of weanlings. The type of nesting material did not affect the characteristics monitored. In all strains, the number of weanlings per female was greatest in singly-housed females. In terms of the number of weanlings per cage, two females per cage gave the best result. In DBA/2 mice, neonatal mortality increased when several females were caged together. 相似文献

We have assigned the mouse rhodopsin gene, Rho, to chromosome 6 using DNA from a set of mouse-hamster somatic hybrid cell lines and a partial cDNA clone for mouse opsin. This assignment rules out the direct involvement of the rhodopsin gene in the known mouse mutations that produce retinal degeneration, including retinal degeneration slow (rds, chromosome 17), retinal degeneration (rd, chromosome 5), Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd, chromosome 13), and nervous (nr, chromosome 8). Segregation of Rho-specific DNA fragment differences among 50 animals from an interspecific backcross (C57BL/6J X Mus spretus) X C57BL/6J indicates that the Rho locus is 4.0 +/- 2.8 map units distal to the locus for the proto-oncogene Raf-1 and 18.0 +/- 5.4 map units proximal to the locus for the proto-oncogene Kras-2. Linkage to Raf-1 was confirmed using four sets of recombinant inbred strains. The two loci RAF1 and RHO are also syntenic on human chromosome 3, but on opposite arms. 相似文献

Four- and eight-cell embryos from 3 mouse genotypes were cryopreserved to study the relationship of genetics and freezing variables on post-thaw survival. Embryos from outbred N:NIH(S), N:NIH(S)-B and inbred (C57BL/6N) mice were exposed to 1 of 2 cryoprotectants (glycerol [GLYC] versus dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]) and stored in 1 of 2 containers (ampules [AMP] versus straws [STR]). Containerized embryos were cooled at a rate of 0.5 degrees C/min to a minimum of -35 degrees C, transferred into liquid nitrogen, and later thawed and cultured in vitro. Genotypic differences (p less than 0.05) were noted for 4 interrelated embryo characteristics including post-thaw survival (PTS), embryo degeneration rate (EDR), and quality grade (QG) and viability grade (VG) ratings. The PTS for outbred embryos was greater (p less than 0.05) in GLYC than DMSO, whereas inbred C57BL/6N embryos survived similarly (p greater than 0.05) in either cryoprotectant. Compared to DMSO counterparts, embryos from GLYC-treated outbred groups had improved QG and VG ratings and reduced EDR (p less than 0.05), but comparable results were observed between GLYC- AND DMSO-treated embryos in the C57BL/6N group. Between genotypes, type of container affected PTS and EDR (p less than 0.05) but not QG or VG ratings (p greater than 0.05). Within genotypes, PTS generally ranged 15 to 20% higher (p less than 0.01) in AMP than STR groups. Increased PTS was noted in outbred mouse x GLYC x AMP groups; however, based on the degrees of difference, the inbred C57BL/6N strain appeared less affected by this 3-way interaction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Food restriction paradigms are widely used in animal studies to investigate systems involved in energy regulation. We have observed behavioral, physiological, and molecular differences in response to food restriction in three inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J, A/J, and DBA/2J. These are the progenitors of chromosome substitution and recombinant inbred mouse strains used for mapping complex traits. DBA/2J and A/J mice increased their locomotor activity during food restriction, and both displayed a decrease in body temperature, but the decrease was significantly larger in DBA/2J compared with A/J mice. C57BL/6J mice did not increase their locomotor activity and displayed a large decrease in their body temperature. The large decline in body temperature during food restriction in DBA/2J and C57BL/6J strains was associated with a robust reduction in plasma leptin levels. DBA/2J mice showed a marked decrease in white and brown adipose tissue masses and an upregulation of the antithermogenic hypothalamic neuropeptide Y Y(1) receptor. In contrast, A/J mice showed a reduction in body temperature to a lesser extent that may be explained by downregulation of the thermogenic melanocortin 3 receptor and by behavioral thermoregulation as a consequence of their increased locomotor activity. These data indicate that genetic background is an important parameter in controlling an animal's adaptation strategy in response to food restriction. Therefore, mouse genetic mapping populations based on these progenitor lines are highly valuable for investigating mechanisms underlying strain-dependent differences in behavioral physiology that are seen during reduced food availability. 相似文献

Differences among eight inbred strains of mice in motor ability and motor learning on a rotorod 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The rotorod is commonly used to assess motor ability in mice. We examined a number of inbred strains to determine whether there is genetic variability in rotorod performance and motor learning. Mice received three trials per day for three days in a modified accelerating rotorod paradigm, and active rotation performance was calculated for each day. Male and female 129S1/SvImJ, A/J, BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, CBA/J, DBA/2J and FVB/NJ mice were tested. Strain and sex differences were observed in motor performance. Motor learning also differed across strains, as some strains showed an improvement in performance over the three days while other strains did not. In certain strains the weight and body length of the mouse correlated with rotorod performance. The role of vision in motor performance on the rotorod was assessed by a comparison of C3H/HeJ mice (with retinal degeneration) and congenic C3A.BLiA- Pde6b + (Pdeb+) mice (without retinal degeneration). The sight-impaired C3H mice stayed on the rotorod longer than did their sighted Pdeb+ partners, although both strains improved across days. Thus, we have demonstrated a genetic component in rotorod performance, and we have shown that factors other than inherent motor ability can contribute to rotorod performance in mice. 相似文献

In a comparative study of A/J (Gpi-1a) and C57BL/6J (Gpi-1b) mice, we observed that erythrocytes of A/J mice exhibited significantly higher glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) activity compared to erythrocytes of C57BL/6J mice on a per cell, per gram of protein, or per gram of hemoglobin basis. Higher GPI activity per cell was detected for peripheral blood lymphocytes of A/J compared to C57BL/6J mice. (A/J X C57BL/6J)F1 mice expressed erythrocyte and peripheral blood lymphocyte GPI activities intermediate to those of the parental mouse strains. The GPI activities of spleen lymphocytes from A/J, C57BL/6J, or (A/J X C57BL/6J)F1 mice were not significantly different from each other. The higher activity in the A/J mice could be due to GPI of a higher catalytic rate or to the presence of more GPI molecules. In order to distinguish these two possibilities, GPI was purified to homogeneity from both strains of mice. The specific activities (activity per milligram of protein) of the purified enzymes from the two strains were found to be similar, indicating that GPI from the A/J strain was not a more active enzyme. Antibody to the purified enzymes was prepared and used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to compare the relative amounts of enzyme molecules in cells of A/J and C57BL/6J mice. Results of the ELISA tests on peripheral blood lymphocytes indicated that A/J mice contain more molecules of GPI per cell and, therefore, have a higher GPI activity than C57BL/6J mice. 相似文献

Dietary, bacterial, and host genetic interactions in the pathogenesis of transmissible murine colonic hyperplasia 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Transmissible murine colonic hyperplasia, cuased by a variant of Citrobacter freundii (4280). was shown to be modified by diet and by host strain and species. Four different diets fed to mice inoculated with C frundii 4280 were found to have a significant but varying influence on the severity of hyperplasia. Diet also influenced the colonic crypt height of uninoculated, control mice. F344 rats, Syrian hamsters, and NIH Swiss [N:(S)], C57BL/6J, C3H/HeJ, and DBA/2J mice were inoculated with C freundii 4280. Marked strain differences were noted in the mice in mortality and severity of the colonic hyperplasia. The NIH Swiss mice had the greatest and the C57BL/6J mice had the least mucosal hyperplasia. The rats and hamsters did not develop disease or maintain infection after inoculation with the organism. Twenty isolates of Citrobacter from a range of biologic sources were inoculated into susceptible mice, but only mice inoculated with C freundii 4280 developed the disease. 相似文献

Two major subclasses of xenotropic (X-tropic) murine type C viruses can be distinguished by nucleic acid hybridization. The most frequently encountered subclass (MuLV-X-alpha) includes isolates from BALB/c, C57BL/6J, C58/J, AKR/J, CBA/J, and DBA/2J inbred strains and from the Asian feral mouse subspecies Mus musculus molossinus. The other subclass (MuLV-X-beta) consists of viruses isolated from the NIH Swiss and NZB/BINJ strains. Thus, significant polymorphism exists among the endogenous type C virogenes of a single species, Mus musculus. MuLV-X-alpha genes are found in strains that also have endogenous mouse-tropic viruses (either N-tropic, B-tropic, or both), whereas the MuLV-X-beta subclass is restricted to mouse strains from which mouse-tropic viruses have not yet been isolated. The results are consistent with a model which proposes that mouse-tropic endogenous viruses are derived from the MuLV-X-alpha subclass. 相似文献

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the most important techniques used for assisted reproduction in mouse colony management. As with natural mating, where mice have varying fertility indices, fertility rates of genetically modified (GM) [transgenic (Tg), knock out (KO) and congenic (Cg)] mice are influenced by their genetic background. Lines of GM mice that have poor fertility have a concomitant poor IVF outcome. Treatment of mouse sperm with extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATPe) enhanced in vitro fertilization rates in outbred and hybrid mice. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of using extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate-treated sperm for IVF of inbred wild type, and genetically modified mouse lines, for which standard IVF did not work well. The IVF was performed using the GM mice on C57BL/10SnJ, C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ and NFS/N background strains and wild type (WT) mice such as C57BL/6N, BALB/cAnN, and B6129SF1 strains. Oocytes from superovulated females were fertilized in vitro with sperm from the same background strain, and either treated or not treated with ATPe. The ATPe treatment enhanced IVF outcome in most of the GM and some WT strains, as indicated by the percentage of embryos that progressed to the two-cell stage. There was no marked difference between ATPe treated and control groups for the development rate of two-cell embryos to blastocysts in culture, or in the number of pups born after transfer of two-cell embryos into recipient females. The observed improvement of the IVF results following ATPe treatment of transgenic and KO mouse sperm were a potential solution for improving the outcome of assisted reproduction techniques used for rederivation or for gamete banking. 相似文献

An incomplete proviral genome of endogenous mammary tumour virus (MMTV) was found in DNA of several strains of mice. This MMTV-related sequence was assigned to the Y chromosome since it was clearly observed in male mice only. This MMTV provirus contained a sequence related to LTR (long terminal repeat), but not to gag-pol and env genes. NFS, NIH Swiss/S, STS/A, and DD/Tbr mice have this sequence but BALB/cHeA, SHN, SLN, C57BL/6NJcl, C3H/HeNJcl and CBA/JJcl mice are negative. In the strains containing this sequence, a DNA test for the sequence makes it possible to easily distinguish the DNAs of male or female mice. 相似文献

Scavenger receptors class A (SR-A) have been hypothesized to regulate the development of atherosclerotic lesions through recognition of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) and macrophage adhesion to substrata. Supporting data have been collected from studies using the monoclonal antibody 2F8, an antibody developed from the BALB/c strain-derived macrophage cell line, RAW.264. Although 2F8 immunostained both cultured peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and thymic macrophages from Swiss, BALB/c, and DBA/2 mice, no immunostaining was detected in cells and tissues from C57BL/6 mice, one of the most commonly used atherosclerosis-susceptible mouse strains. Similarly, 2F8 detected SR-A protein in MPM by Western blotting in all strains except C57BL/6. However, a guinea pig antiserum developed to a fusion protein of the extracellular SR-A domain detected appropriately sized bands in all strains. Incubation with 2F8 antagonized acetylated low-density lipoprotein (AcLDL)-induced cholesterol esterification in MPM from BALB/c, Swiss, and DBA/2 strains but had no effect on MPM from C57BL/6 mice. Sequencing of SR-A cDNA from C57BL/6 mice demonstrated complete identity with published sequence in the collagen-like domain. However, four single-residue substitutions were noted in the alpha-helical coiled-coil domain. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that a single substitution (L168S) in this domain accounted for the loss of 2F8 immunoreactivity. Differing reactivities toward a commonly used monoclonal antibody were used to identify polymorphism of SR-A in C57BL/6 mice. 相似文献

In this pilot study we compared for the first time the radiation sensitivity of mouse lens epithelial cells (LECs) and mouse lymphocytes. We freshly prepared LECs and lymphocytes and irradiated them with γ-rays (137Cs; doses ranging from 0.25 to 2 Gy). DNA damage and repair were evaluated by alkaline comet assay and γH2AX foci assay. Using the comet assay, we observed a dose-dependent increase in DNA damage in both cell types. The faster formation of single- and double-strand breaks in LECs of C57BL/6 mice at doses below 1 Gy needs to be confirmed in other mouse strains. Immunofluorescence for γH2AX foci showed a higher degree of lesions in LECs from C57BL/6J mice compared to those of JF1 mice and to lymphocytes of both strains. Correspondingly, repair of DNA damage proceeded faster in LECs of C57BL/6J mice compared to LECs of JF1 mice and lymphocytes of both strains. It is obvious that the lymphocytes of both strains repaired DNA lesions more slowly than the corresponding LECs. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that LECs of C57Bl/6 mice show a steeper dose–response than lymphocytes in both types of experiments. It shows that both test systems are able to be used also at doses below 0.25 Gy. The observed difference in DNA repair between the LECs from C57BL/6J mice compared to the LECs from JF1 mice and to the lymphocytes of both strains warrants further experiments to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. 相似文献

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) has recently been established as a method for in vivo imaging of fundus and retina in the mouse. It enables more effective studies of retinal diseases including investigations of etiopathologic mechanisms. In order to learn more about longitudinal fundus development and to enable recognition of disease-associated irregularities, we performed confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) and SD-OCT measurements in the inbred strains C57BL/6J, C3HeB/FeJ, FVB/NCrl, BALB/cByJ, and 129S2/SvJ when they were between 2 and 6 months of age. In general, cSLO and SD-OCT data did not reveal sex-specific or unilateral differences. C3HeB/FeJ and FVB/NCrl mice showed diffuse choroidal dysplasia. Choroidal vein-like structures appeared as dark fundus stripes in C3HeB/FeJ. In FVB/NCrl, fundus fleck accumulation was found. In contrast, only minor time-dependent changes of fundus appearance were observed in C57BL/6J, BALB/cByJ, and 129S2/SvJ. This was also found for individual fundic main blood vessel patterns in all inbred strains. Vessel numbers varied between 6 and 13 in C57BL/6J. This was comparable in most cases. We further found that retinae were significantly thicker in C57BL/6J compared to the other strains. Total retinal thickness generally did not change between 2 and 6 months of age. As a conclusion, our results indicate lifelong pathologic processes in C3HeB/FeJ and FVB/NCrl that affect choroid and orbital tissues. Inbred strains with regular retinal development did not reveal major time-dependent variations of fundus appearance, blood vessel pattern, or retinal thickness. Consequently, progressive changes of these parameters are suitable indicators for pathologic outliers. 相似文献
