Over the past two years, three members have participated in the College’s Summer Veterinary Scholar Research Program (supported both by an NIH T35 grant and the Morris Animal Foundation) and attended the Merck-Merial NIH National Veterinary Scholars Symposium to present their research. Dillon Muth’s project developed regulatory dendritic cells with the pregnancy estrogen Estriol. Gabrielle Pastenkos performed sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of three major surface antigens of Neorickettsia risticii. Bonnie Harrington’s project differentiated biologically high grade mast cell tumors from their biologically low grade counterparts based on molecular biology. Fourth year member Lauren Mattei received the OSU CVM 2010 Advances in Veterinary Medicine day basic research travel award for her poster, "Innate Immunity to Oral Salmonella Infection in Absence of IL-17."

Volume 3, Issue 1 Page 7 Case Report The case of the Mass-Laden Macaque The presentation……………. Signalment: 10 year old, female, naive, cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis). History: On routine external examination, a mass was palpated in the caudal abdomen. Examination of a fine needle aspirate from the mass was non-specific and contained erythrocytes, hemosiderin-filled macrophages, and rare neutrophils. The animal was euthanized and necropsied. Clinical pathology (hematology, coagulation, routine clinical chemistry) identified a slightly decreased hematocrit (31%). Necropsy: The urogenital tract and colon/rectum were consolidated into a mottled, firm, irregular, approximately 4 x 4 x 5 cm mass that contained many blood filled cysts. Gross appearance of endometriosis in a human. The rectum is adherent to the left uterosacral ligament and the back of the cervix with endometriosis.
