    Abstract: A method of radiation-free hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation comprises administering to a mammalian subject one or two doses of 2 to 10 mg/kg body weight of a purine base analog, such as 6TG as a pre-conditioning step. The method further comprises engrafting into the subject hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT)-deficient donor HSCs within 48 to 72 hours of the pre-conditioning step; and administering to the subject about 1 to 5 mg/kg of the purine base analog every two to four days for two to eight weeks following the engrafting step. The method is performed in the absence of pre-conditioning via radiation. The subject is therefore not treated with myeloablative radiation in preparation for transplantation, and thus the subject is free of myeloablative radiation-induced toxicity.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for diagnosing and treating degenerative mitral valve disease in a canine. In one embodiment, a method of diagnosing early stage degenerative mitral valve disease in a canine can comprise measuring a normalized relative abundance of a biomarker selected from the group consisting of Erysipelatoclostridium, Ruminococcaceae UCG014, Butyricicoccus, Faecalibacterium, and combinations thereof, and determining that the canine has early stage degenerative mitral valve disease if the Erysipelatoclostridium is from 0 to 0.5 normalized relative abundance, the Ruminococcaceae UCG014 is from 0 to 0.1 normalized relative abundance, the Butyricicoccus is from 0 to 0.1 normalized relative abundance, or the Faecalibacterium is from 0 to 0.1 normalized relative abundance.
