“…Serum cortisol concentrations were determined in multiple enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) from a commercially prepared kit (Cortisol EIA Kit; Enzo Life Sciences, Inc., Farmingdale, NY, USA). This assay was previously validated for use in Siberian hamsters (Demas et al, 2004) and is highly specific for cortisol; cross-reactivity with corticosterone is 27.7% and < 4.0% for other steroid hormones. The sensitivity of the assay is 56.72 pg/ml.…”

“…The antisera used in both assays were highly specific for the hormones measured, with low cross-reactivity with other hormones. Both the LH and T assays have been previously validated for use in Siberian hamsters [17, 68]. …”

“…We predicted that if maintenance of B cell memory was indeed expensive, then FR mice should produce less secondary IgG than AL mice, especially inasmuch as food was provided ad libitum to all animals at this point. Because FR may have also induced physiological stress, particularly a rise in corticosterone, which could influence secondary responses to KLH independent of or in conjunction with FR (5,17,28), additional groups of mice (both FR and AL) were briefly restrained several times during the FR period. Similar procedures have been used in rodents to elevate circulating corticosterone and approximate a largely psychologically stressful experience (9,21,34).…”
