Changes in Reactivity In Vitro of CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25− T Cell Subsets in Transplant Tolerance by Bruce M. Hall, Catherine M. Robinson, Karren M. Plain, Karren M. Plain, Nirupama D. Verma, Giang T. Tran, Masaru Nomura, Masaru Nomura, Nicole Carter, Nicole Carter, Rochelle Boyd, Rochelle Boyd, Suzanne J. Hodgkinson

“…To identify changes that may diagnose tolerance, changes in the patterns of proliferation of CD4+, CD4+CD25+, and CD4+CD25− T cells from DA rats tolerant to Piebald Virol Glaxo rat strain (PVG) cardiac allografts and from naïve DA rats were examined. …”

Analogs of human genetic skin disease in domesticated animals by Justin Finch, MD, Stephanie Abrams, DVM, Amy Finch, MBA

“…In addition, we will explore how animal diseases serve as a model to uncover the mechanisms of human disease.The genetic skin diseases we will review are pigmentary mosaicism, piebaldism, albinism, Griscelli syndrome, ectodermal dysplasias, Waardenburg syndrome, and mucinosis in both humans and domesticated animals.…”

Naa12 compensates for Naa10 in mice in the amino-terminal acetylation pathway by Hyae Yon Kweon, Mi-Ni Lee, Max Dorfel, Seungwoon Seo, Leah Gottlieb, Thomas PaPazyan, Nina McTiernan, Rasmus Ree, David Bolton, Andrew Garcia, Michael Flory, Jonathan Crain, Alison Sebold, Scott Lyons, Ahmed Ismail, Elaine Marchi, Seong-keun Sonn, Se-Jin Jeong, Sejin Jeon, Shinyeong Ju, Simon J Conway, Taesoo Kim, Hyun-Seok Kim, Cheolju Lee, Tae-Young Roh, Thomas Arnesen, Ronen Marmorstein, Goo Taeg Oh, Gholson J Lyon

“…Rather Naa10 nulls display increased neonatal lethality, and the majority of surviving undersized mutants exhibit a combination of hydrocephaly, cardiac defects, homeotic anterior transformation, piebaldism, and urogenital anomalies. Naa12 is a previously unannotated Naa10-like paralog with NAT activity that genetically compensates for Naa10. …”

Cellular and ultrastructural characterization of the grey-morph phenotype in southern right whales (Eubalaena australis). by Guy D Eroh, Fred C Clayton, Scott R Florell, Pamela B Cassidy, Andrea Chirife, Carina F Marón, Luciano O Valenzuela, Michael S Campbell, Jon Seger, Victoria J Rowntree, Sancy A Leachman

“…Grey morphism is distinct from piebaldism and albinism found in other species, which are genetic pigmentation conditions resulting from the local absence of melanocytes, or the inability to synthesize melanin, respectively.…”
