A Genetic Porcine Model of Cancer

TL;DR: A transgenic “oncopig” line encoding Cre recombinase inducible porcine transgenes encoding KRASG12D and TP53R167H, which represent a commonly mutated oncogene and tumor suppressor in human cancers, respectively, could serve as a genetically malleable model for potentially a wide spectrum of cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG expressing the LipL32 antigen of Leptospira interrogans protects hamsters from challenge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gene coding for LipL32, a highly immunogenic antigen found in all pathogenic leptospira, was cloned into several mycobacterial vectors for expression in BCG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of virulence of Leptospira isolates in a hamster model.

TL;DR: The potential use of Brazilian isolates as highly virulent strains in challenge experiments using hamster as an appropriate animal model for leptospirosis is demonstrated and these strains may be useful in heterologous challenge studies which aim to evaluate cross-protective responses induced by sub-unit vaccine candidates.
