Celiac disease (CD), with a 1% world-wide prevalence, is an enteropathy caused by an autoimmune reaction to gluten in genetically susceptible individuals, that codify for histocompatibility molecules HLA DQ-2/DQ-8. From ...

Susceptibility to glucocorticoid-induced cleft palate in mice has been related to the H-2 histocompatibility complex on chromosome 17. Indomethacin administered in vitro to palatal processes from 13.5-day-old mouse embryos ...

Growing evidence suggests that the main olfactory epithelium contains a subset of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) responding to pheromones. One candidate subpopulation expresses the calcium activated cation channel TRPM5 ...

Two strains of mice, A. SW (H-2(s)) and A.CA (H-2(f)), were immunized with live trypomastigotes or epimastigotes of the Tulahuen strain of Trypanosoma cruzi or with their sonicates. By immunowestern blotting, sera from ...
