Approbation of a Homologous Model of the Antitumor Vaccine Based on Mature Mouse Dendritic Cells to Study the Biodistribution of the Cell Product.

Homologous animal cell product was obtained in protocol developed for female BALB/c mice. Dendritic cell (DC) migration from the injection site into the draining lymph nodes was evaluated. The number of DC labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) in draining lymph nodes increased from 5.

Model of Accelerated Aging in CB6F2 Mice Induced by Ionizing Radiation.

A model for accelerated aging in mice was developed: CB6F2 mice aged 39-45 days were exposed to fractionated 4-fold relatively uniform γ-radiation (Cs, 0.98 Gy/min) at a total dose of 6.8 Gy.

Effects of a Hydrolyzed Lignin Derivative on Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice.

Female C57BL/J mice with pulmonary fibrosis induced by injections of bleomycin (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 8 times for 4 weeks) were treated with a lignin derivative-based composition BP-C3 (80 mg/kg, daily intragastric administrations for 4 weeks). Bleomycin treatment increased the severity of pulmonary fibrosis (Ashcroft score increased from 1.43±0.

Effect of Polyphenolic Composition BP-C2 on Lung Carcinogenesis Induced by Urethane in Progeny of Irradiated Male BALB/c Mice.

We studied the effects of polyphenolic composition BP-C2, comprising molybdenum with lignin derivatives, on lung carcinogenesis induced by urethane in the progeny of F male BALB/c mice preconceptionally exposed to radiation in a dose of 1 Gy. The multiplicity of lung tumors in the progeny of irradiated mice was higher than in the progeny of non-irradiated male parents by 50% in females and 43% in males (p<0.05).

The Effect of Inactivating Heterozygous Mutation in NBS1 Gene on DNA Damage and Repair Markers and Apoptosis Markers in Mice.

We studied the state of the DNA repair system and apoptosis in young mice carrying heterozygous inactivating mutation in the NBS1 gene (c.1971insT, p.Arg658Stop).
