The nucleotide sequence for pituitary prolactin cDNA from the marsupial bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus) was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and 5'/3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The deduced amino acid sequence showed

1. The mechanisms utilised by the newborn quoll to move from the uterus to the teat within the pouch are unknown. The ability to sense gravity and odour have been suggested and it is possible that temperature may also assist the young in this migrati

Plasma concentrations of growth hormone (GH) were measured in the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) pouch young from 25 through to 198 days post-partum (n=71). GH concentrations were highest early in pouch life (around 100 ng/ml), and thereaft

Birth is an event that allows the relatively immature marsupial to move from the internal environment of the uterus to the external environment of the pouch. The newborn marsupial passes down from the uterus to the urogenital sinus and then makes its

Maturation of the fetal pituitary and adrenal glands allows the secretion of cortisol, which in turn leads to an increase in prostaglandin and mesotocin production. The production of prostaglandin and mesotocin results in an increase in uterine contr

The cDNA sequence for insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) was determined from the liver of the marsupial brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) using reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with gene-specific primers.

In marsupials testis determination requires the presence of a Y chromosome. The sex determining region on the Y gene (SRY) is necessary for testicular development in eutherians and it is assumed to play a similar role in marsupials. Relatively few st

The numbers and distribution of T and B cells in the thoracic thymus, spleen and intestinal tissue and the proliferation of T lymphocytes were examined during pouch life and in the adult to determine when the developing brushtail possum reaches immun

The transfer of animals from the wild into captivity is an important strategy for the conservation of species that are under threat of extinction. To determine the reproductive capability of animals following transfer from the wild, brushtail possums
