In vivo

The structures, antigen binding, and abilities to activate complement are important aspects to understand different drugs relating to autoimmune diseases. Each of the four drugs, infliximab, Adalimumab, Etanercept, and Certilizumab, have different antibody structures, leading to differences in function and binding abilities. The drug infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody, containing 25% mouse-derived and 75% human-derived amino acids. The drug Adalimumab is a fully human monoclonal…

whereas another in-vitro test, the EpiDerm human skin model test, costs $850 (“Costs of Animal and Non-Animal Testing”). According to the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS), an in-vitro test for EpiDerm proved to be more accurate than in vivo testing, claiming “in comparison studies, EpiDerm correctly detected all of the test chemicals that irritate human skin, while tests on rabbits misclassified 10 out of 25 test chemicals—a full 40% error rate” (“In Testing…”). Whereas traditional…

“Summarise and evaluate the two papers. What are the implications of this work for Buss et al. (1992)?” This essay aims to further investigate sex differences in jealousy, using Buss et al’s 1992 study as a reference. Evaluating evolutionary psychology and using related supporting and critiquing research to consider a more reasoned analysis in response to the original theory and will subsequently lead to increased understanding and potential aid in scenarios regarding romantic infidelity such…

Many environmental pollutants have been associated with human diseases. Our current knowledge of chemical induced adverse health effects is mainly limited to the toxicity of the individual chemicals. For the majority of chemicals, its individual toxicity is well documented, examples arsenic and skin, lung and bladder cancers; dioxin and chloracne; lead and neurotoxicity; benzo[a]pyrene and lung cancer. The scientific community increasingly recognizes the adverse effects associated with chemical…

Gene editing has long been held out as a potential panacea for all human genetic disorders. Beyond human disease, it holds potential for producing disease free and larger plants and animals. Alternatively, resistance to herbicides can be edited into a plants genome or genes to increase drought tolerance. Furthermore, slight tweaks to the genome can produce crops that will be more desirable to consumers and thus enable their producers to earn more money. If the small change is only the removal of…

Recently there has been a rising interest in studying social microbial behavior, which can provide fundamental information about the development of severe infections in host organisms by pathogenic bacteria. These microorganisms demonstrate highly social behaviors such as the ability to communicate by producing, releasing, detecting and responding to small signaling molecules. This process, named quorum sensing (QS), allows a bacterial population to regulate its population’s behavior in response…

regarding the subjects themselves was compiled from the surveys they completed, this data included education level, position in the household, monthly income, # of children, marital status, residence time in Juarez, and if they had experienced violence while in Juarez. Moreover, this interview was performed during a critical point in the drug war, when the violence was at its peak. C. A group of 16 parents of different families were selected from a larger pool of 300 families based on the fact…

6. IN-VIVO STUDY Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. Inflammatory diseases are very common throughout the world. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the oldest known diseases of mankind affecting the majority of population no substantial progress has been made in achieving a permanent cure and different types of rheumatic diseases are a major cause of morbidity of the working force. Inflammation results in the…

During this step, it is important to note the symptoms of otitis media in children, so it could be created a new drug with the best benefits to treat those symptoms (1). The second step, is preclinical research. During this process, it is used the in vivo preclinical test. Therefore, the animals that are used to test Lacrialgia are pigs (1). The third step, is clinical research (1). During this phase the drug is tested in humans. This step is divided in 4 stages…
