To better characterize aging in mice, the Jackson Aging Center carried out a lifespan study of 31 genetically-diverse inbred mouse strains housed in a specific pathogen-free facility. Clinical assessments were carried out every 6 months, measuring mu

Inbred mouse strains are routinely used as genetically defined animal models for studying a wide assortment of biological and pathological processes, including immune system function. However, no studies have presented large-scale data on the immune

The liver is an important target of Trypanosoma cruzi infection. Infection of CD-1 mice with T. cruzi (Brazil strain) resulted in parasitism of the liver, primarily in sinusoidal and Kupffer cells. Immunoblot analysis revealed activation of extra cel

We report on the use of centerline analysis of cardiac-gated magnetic resonance images to measure wall motion abnormalities in mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. To our knowledge, this is the first report of segmental wall motion abnormalities in

The MHC class I-like Fc receptor FcRn plays an essential role in extending the half-life (t(1/2)) of IgG antibodies and IgG-Fc-based therapeutics in the circulation. The goal of this study was to analyze the effect of human IgG1 (hIgG1) antibodies wi

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease with a poorly understood pathogenesis. The disease is associated with polyclonal B cell activation and the production of autoantibodies (autoAbs), but there is a longstanding controversy as to

Trypanosoma cruzi infection causes cardiomyopathy and vasculopathy. We examined the consequence of this infection for the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which regulate cell proliferation in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial

The MHC class I family-like Fc receptor, FcRn, is normally responsible for extending the life span of serum IgG Ab's, but whether this molecule contributes to autoimmune pathogenesis remains speculative. To determine directly whether this function co

Abs of the IgG isotype are efficiently transported from mother to neonate and have an extended serum t1/2 compared with Abs of other isotypes. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the MHC class I-related protein, the neonatal FcR (FcRn), is the FcR

Chagas' disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important cause of cardiomyopathy. Microvascular spasm and matrix dissolution, modulated by endothelin-1 (ET-1), is implicated in the pathogenesis of chagasic heart disease. T
