(14) Infected LEW rats produced greater or equal levels of the major classes of serum antibody to M. pulmonis than did infected F344 rats, suggesting that development of serum antibody responses alone does not resolve lesions and is not responsible for the difference in disease severity found in LEW and F344 rats.
(15) The influence of artificial unilateral occlusal disturbances on the structure of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condyle cartilage was investigated by an experimental study using the miniature pig "MINI-LEWE".
(16) Unilaterally nephrectomized, sublethally irradiated (780 rads) LEW recipients of renal allografts from irradiated WF donors, were selectively reconstituted with spleen cells from sensitized syngeneic donors and subjected to delayed nephrectomy of the residual native kidney 3 days posttransplantation.

(19) Moreover, transfer of 2.0 x 10(8) splenic lymphocytes or 2 ml serum from DSG-treated LEW rat with surviving ACI heart allograft, to sublethally irradiated grafted host, did not prolong survival both in ACI heart grafts and third party Wistar grafts.
(20) This bulletin marks the beginning of a cycle dealing with the structure, function, innervation and quantitative analysis of jaw muscles as well as postnatal cranial growth and dentition in the miniature pig MINI-LEWE.
