Organ Infectivity of Toxoplasma gondii in Interferon-γ Knockout Mice (2001)

K. Norose, F. Aosai, M. Chen, H. Hata, Y. Tagawa, ...

To determine the influence of interferon (IFN)-γ on the organ infectivity and on the genetic susceptibility of susceptible (C57BL/6) and resistant (BALB/c) strains after peroral infection with cysts...

A human GM-CSF receptor expressed in transgenic mice stimulates proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic progenitors to all lineages in response to human GM-CSF.

Nishijima, I, Nakahata, T, Hirabayashi, Y, Inoue, T, Kurata, H, Miyajima, A, ...

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mainly stimulates proliferation and maturation of myeloid progenitor cells. Although the signal transduction pathways triggered by GM-CSF...

SV40 vector with early gene replacement efficient in transducing exogenous DNA into mammalian cells.

Asano, M, Iwakura, Y, Kawade, Y

An early replacement SV40 vector, SV40-Mu beta, was constructed by replacing part of the early genes of the virus with mouse interferon-beta (IFN-beta) cDNA. Upon transfection of COS-7 cells with...

Male sterility of transgenic mice carrying exogenous mouse interferon-beta gene under the control of the metallothionein enhancer-promoter.

Iwakura, Y, Asano, M, Nishimune, Y, Kawade, Y

As an approach to elucidating the roles of interferon (IFN) in the normal physiology and diseases of animals, transgenic mice carrying extra mouse IFN-beta genes under the control of a mouse...

Therapeutic effect of the anti-Fas antibody on arthritis in HTLV-1 tax transgenic mice.

Fujisawa, K, Asahara, H, Okamoto, K, Aono, H, Hasunuma, T, Kobata, T, ...

We have recently demonstrated Fas-mediated apoptosis in the synovium, of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and suggested that it may be one factor responsible for the regression of RA. To...

Growth retardation and early death of beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase knockout mice with augmented proliferation and abnormal differentiation of epithelial cells.

Asano, M, Furukawa, K, Kido, M, Matsumoto, S, Umesaki, Y, Kochibe, N, ...

Carbohydrate chains on a glycoprotein are important not only for protein conformation, transport and stability, but also for cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. UDP-Gal:N-acetylglucosamine...

Knockout of mouse beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase-1 gene results in a dramatic shift of outer chain moieties of N-glycans from type 2 to type 1 chains in hepatic membrane and plasma glycoproteins.

Kotani, N, Asano, M, Iwakura, Y, Takasaki, S

To understand the contribution of beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase (beta 4Gal-T)-1 to galactosylation in vivo, N-glycans of hepatic membrane glycoproteins and plasma glycoproteins from beta 4Gal-T1...
