Our knowledge of the lagomorph immune system remains largely based upon studies of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), a major model for studies of immunology. Two …
Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis: A Practical Guide is the first laboratory manual to describe the theory and practice of this technique. Based on the authors' experience developing …
Although the rabbit IgH locus contains approximately 100 VH genes, the majority of B cells rearrange VHl. To produce a primary repertoire containing a sufficient number of protective …

The normal rabbit primarily rearranges a single (VH 1) gene to several DH and JH genes (Becker et al. 1990; Knight and Becker 1990; Allegrucci et al. 1991). Thus combinatorial …
A Pinheiro, D Lanning, PC Alves, RG Mage, KL Knight… - Immunogenetics, 2011 - Springer
The rabbit has long been a model for studies of the immune system. Work using rabbits contributed both to the battle against infectious diseases such as rabies and syphilis, and to …
