Abstract excerpt
Genetically susceptible Lewis rats injected in the intestinal wall with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-APS) polymers develop chronic granulomatous enterocolitis associated with activation of the kallikrein-kinin system. To elucidate the role of high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK), we backcrossed Brown Norway rats having an HK deficiency with Lewis rats for five generations. Two new strains were produced,...
