Miniature swine are well suited for such studies due to their physiological and pathophysiological responses. Methods: We compare two methods for inducing diabetes in Goettingen minipigs (GMP), in five with the beta cell toxin streptozotocin (STZ) and in five other GMP by total pancreatectomy (PE). Glucose homeostasis was assessed with the intravenous glucose-tolerance test (IVGTT) and continual monitoring of interstitial glucose levels. At conclusion of the observation period, the pancreata were examined histologically. Three non-diabetic GMP served as control group. Results: The IVGTT revealed markedly diabetic profiles in both GMP groups. STZ-GMP were found to harbor residual C-peptides and scattered insulin-positive cells in the pancreas. PE-GMP survived the total pancreatectomy only with intensive postoperative care. Conclusions: Although both methods reliably induced diabetes in GMP, the PE-GMP clearly had more health problems and required a greater expenditure of time and resources. The PE-GMP model, however, was better at eliminating endogenous insulin and C-peptide than the STZ-GMP model.}, subject = {G{\"o}ttingen}, language = {en} } @article{LausUlrichsMuellerRuchholtz1986, author = {Laus, R. and Ulrichs, Karin and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Molecular Specificity of Human Heterophile Antibodies (HHA) in Normal Human Serum (NHS) Reacting with Xenogeneic Cells.}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-72921}, year = {1986}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsKellerMuellerRuchholtz1985, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Keller, R. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Serological demonstration and manipulation of passenger cells (PC) in pancreas islet grafts}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-72944}, year = {1985}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{KekowUlrichs1986, author = {Kekow, J. and Ulrichs, Karin}, title = {Determination of total immunoreactive rat insulin (IRI) in culture supernatants of rat islets by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a routine method to assess the viability of rat islets prior to their use in islet transplantation}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-72989}, year = {1986}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{KrzymanskiWaagaUlrichsetal.1991, author = {Krzymanski, Maciej and Waaga, Ana M. and Ulrichs, Karin and Deja, Aadam and Oko, Andrzej and Rommel, Thomas and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, Wolfgang}, title = {The influence of MHC class II antigen blockade by perfusion with a monoclonal antibody on rat renal graft survival}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-64431}, year = {1991}, abstract = {To decrease immunogenicity of the rat kidney, grafts were perfused with an anti-MHC class li monoclonal antibody (mAb ).

Our hypothesis was that pancreatic trypsin was responsible for this failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endogenous trypsin on islet yield. Our results demonstrate that a high trypsin level correlates with poor islet yield, whereas low trypsin activity always correlates with high islet yield. Specific inhibition of trypsin results in low trypsin activity and reproducible, high islet yields.}, language = {en} } @article{EngemannGasselUlrichsetal.1986, author = {Engemann, R. and Gassel, HJ and Ulrichs, Karin and Thiede, A. and Hamelmann, H.}, title = {Suppressorzellmechanismen nach Cyclosporin A (CsA) induzierter Toleranz allogener Rattenlebertransplantate}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45503}, year = {1986}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{UlrichsEulerMuellerRuchholtz1991, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Euler, HH and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {A Clinically Successful Protocol to Suppress Autoantibody Production in SLE Patients Is Analyzed For Its Efficacy To Inhibit Natural Xenophile Antibodies (NXA)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45693}, year = {1991}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HeiserUlrichsEcksteinetal.1992, author = {Heiser, A. and Ulrichs, Karin and Eckstein, V. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {The Human Cell Mediated Response to Xenogeneic (Porcine) Transplantation Antigen Depends on the Stimulator Cell Compartment}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45670}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HedkeEcksteinMayetal.1993, author = {Hedke, K. and Eckstein, V. and May, G. and Kaden, J. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W. and Ulrichs, Karin}, title = {Production of Xenophile Antibodies (XA) in Type I Diabetic Patients is Strongly Influenced by Diabetes and/or Dialysis}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45642}, year = {1993}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{UlrichsEcksteinKorsgrenetal.1993, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Eckstein, V. and Korsgren, O. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Expression of Porcine Pancreatic Islet Antigens Varies and Determines Binding of Human Natural Xenophile Antibodies (NXA)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45655}, year = {1993}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunbiologie}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WangUlrichsMuellerRuchholtz1993, author = {Wang, HY and Ulrichs, Karin and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Down-Regulation of Xenophile Antibodies by Specific Immunosuppressive Protocols to Facilitate Xenogeneic Organ Transplantation}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45669}, year = {1993}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunbiologie}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HeiserUlrichsMuellerRuchholtz1994, author = {Heiser, A. and Ulrichs, Karin and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Enzyme Activities in Commercial Collagenase Preparations and Their Kinetics During Islet Isolation Procedure}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45633}, year = {1994}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Transplantation}, language = {en} } @article{DeltzUlrichsSchacketal.1986, author = {Deltz, Eberhard and Ulrichs, Karin and Schack, Thorsten and Friedrichs, Birgit and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, Wolfgang and M{\"u}ller-Hermelink, Hans K. and Thiede, Arnulf}, title = {Graft-versus-host reaction in small bowel transplantation and possibilities for its circumvention}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-64425}, year = {1986}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {D{\"u}nndarm}, language = {en} } @article{LausUlrichsMuellerRuchholtz1988, author = {Laus, R. and Ulrichs, Karin and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Carbohydrate-specific human heterophile antibodies in normal human sera that react with xenogeneic cells}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-78271}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Human heterophile antibodies (HHA) that are present in normal human sera (NHS)play an important role in hyperacute xenograft rejection. The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence, mode of action and molecular specificity of HHA in NHS that are directed against xenogeneic Iymphocytes (isolated from mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, cattle and pig) and isolated rat pancreatic islets. All sera contained variable amounts of HHA that killed the target cells via the classical complement pathway. The cytotoxic activity of these HHA was specifically inhibited by certain carbohydrates (a-D-melibiose, ß-Iactose, ß-gentiobiose, ß-cellobiose, D-mannose, N-acetyl-ß-D-mannosamine and a-D-rhamnose) and by rat IgM. By means of affinity chromatography with immobilized inhibitors we obtained an antibody preparation of mainly IgG type from NHS (up to 3.5 mg/IO ml serum) that reacted strongly with rat lymphocytes and isolated rat pancreatic islets. Though thus far residual xenospecific antibody activity has remained in the sera even after multiple affinity chromatography, these data suggest that specific elimination of HHA is feasible and that it may be thus possible to overcome a major obstacle to xenotransplantation.}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {de} } @article{UlrichsMuellerRuchholtz1991, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, Wolfgang}, title = {Modulation of pancreatic islet allo immunogenicity and immunobiological in vitro and in vivo consequences}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-78261}, year = {1991}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{KrzymanskiWaagaUlrichsetal.1991, author = {Krzymanski, M. and Waaga, A.
