Immunogenetics and Experimental Animals

Fasting and Experimental Animals, Detrimental or Positive?

While fasting has been practiced for centuries, its beneficial effects was unknown until recently. This review tries to analyze the current literature of how fasting and intermittent fasting (IF) could affect clinical pathological parameters, learning, mood and brain plasticity. The effects of different ways of fasting on metabolism and stress were also explored. Animal experiments have elucida...

Immunogenetics Human immunogenetics Editorial overview

Charles Larsen trained as a protein chemist and has studied the biophysics of viral membrane fusion. His current interest is the cellular immunology and genetics of the human nonresponse to hepatitis B vaccine. This interest has broadened to include the relationship between MHC genetic structure and autoimmune phenomena. Abbreviations CEH conserved extended haplotype KIR killer immunoglobulin-l...

Use of experimental animals.

I shall deal briefly this morning with three topics: (1) the different species and strains of animals to be employed in experimental studies-of bowel cancer with asbestos; (2) combinations of carcinogens; and (3) the difficult and debatable tumors that one sees in experimental animals. I am glad to see that in South Africa baboons are also being used. Frequently Wistar rats are used .or rats of...
