Scurfy


Definition:

  • (superl.) Having or producing scurf; covered with scurf; resembling scurf.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Scurfy lesions characteristically contain a population of large blastlike cells with round to oval nuclei, a vesicular chromatin pattern, and prominent single nucleoli.
  • (2) The role of the thymus in the development of fatal lymphoreticular disease in the scurfy mouse was investigated.
  • (3) The X chromosome-linked scurfy (sf) mutant of the mouse is recognized by the scaliness of the skin from which the name is derived and results in death of affected males at about 3-4 weeks of age.
  • (4) Bone marrow from scurfy mice can reconstitute lethally irradiated, H-2-compatible animals but does not transmit scurfy disease.
  • (5) Scurfy differs from Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome in that scurfy males are consistently hypogonadal.
  • (6) We conclude, from these data, that scurfy lesions are mediated by T lymphocytes that mature in an abnormal (sf) thymic environment.
  • (7) Scurfy (sf), is an X-linked recessive lethal mutation that occurs spontaneously in the C3H mouse.
  • (8) Characteristic lesions in mice hemi- or homozygous for the X-linked mutation scurfy (sf) include lymphohistiocytic proliferation in the skin and lymphoid organs, Coombs' test-positive anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and death by 24 days of age.
  • (9) Thus, while our findings indicate that scurfy disease may be the result of immune dysfunction, it is not a classic immunodeficiency.
  • (10) Neonatal thymectomy doubles the life span of scurfy mice, moderates the histologic lesions, and prevents anemia, despite the continued presence of high levels of serum IgG.
  • (11) The centromere of the X (LGXX) has been tentatively assigned to the end nearest to the scurfy (sf) locus.
  • (12) Our studies indicate that the phenotype of hemizygous scurfy is not, as has been suggested, a model for human X-linked ichthyosis, but appears to be a disease primarily affecting the lymphoreticular, and possibly the hematopoietic, systems.
  • (13) Scurfy mice are negative for antinuclear antibodies.
  • (14) Despite their morphologically aberrant lymphoreticular system, scurfy mice can exist in a conventional environment without evidence of opportunistic infection.
  • (15) Scurfy (sf) is a spontaneous, sex-linked, recessive mutation that maps to the extreme proximal portion of the X chromosome, about 2 centimorgans from sparse fur (spf).
  • (16) Raising scurfy mice in a specific-pathogen-free environment does not alter disease expression.
