(3) LEW rats immunized with each of the three DA MHC chains produced alloantibodies to these chains, suggesting that indirect allorecognition did occur, because of the requirement for cognate recognition of B cells by T helper cells.
(4) However, LEW host rats with allografted DA veins rejected subsequent DA fetal hearts in 7.18 days, which was significantly sooner than in controls (8.45 days).
(5) In the strong DA-to-LEW combination, class I induction on hepatocytes seemed to appear earlier, beginning at day 3, and was more uniform and intense than in the DA-to-PVG model from day 5.
(6) After allogeneic grafting (CAP leads to LEW; RtH-1-incompatible) the non-specific-healing reaction progressed into a second phase, namely the specific reaction: increasing infiltration of the host cornea and the graft with small lymphocytes, blast cells and macrophages, directly followed by severe vascularization, reaching its climax about the 14th day.
(7) Blood-glucose estimations were performed on this sample by an automated glucose-oxidase method and by a reflectance meter system (Reflocheck, BCL (London) Ltd., Lewes, East Sussex, UK).

(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.
(17) In their 125th year, the Rooks fended off bankruptcy to become Lewes Community Football Club, thus joining AFC Wimbledon, FC United of Manchester and Exeter City, among others, as collective entities.
(18) To elucidate the immune mechanisms of susceptibility and resistance to EAE, we first examined the T cell repertoire for MBP using thymectomized chimeras that possessed thymuses from EAE-susceptible (LEW) or EAE-resistant (BM) strains.
(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.
