Book Synopsis Animal Models in AIDS by : Huub Schellekens
Download or read book Animal Models in AIDS written by Huub Schellekens and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the recognized experts from Europe, U.S.A. and Japan have contributed to make this book the most comprehensive, up-to-date survey of animal models available for AIDS research. It concerns animals which can be infected by the Human Immune-deficiency Viruses, both HIV-1 and HIV-2, such as chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, rabbits, SCID-mice reconstituted with human cells and mice transgenic for HIV. Information is also included on animals harbouring their own variants of HIV such as cats, non-human primates and bovines. Other retrovirus models, including lentivirus viruses like Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV), Visna-Maedi, Simian Retrovirus (SRV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) are discussed. The book also deals with the biohazard aspects of working with these viruses, the comparative value of the models and their relation with AIDS in humans. Examples of the applications of these models in the development of antiretroviral agents and vacines are given.

Book Synopsis In vivo Models of HIV Disease and Control by : Herman Friedman
Download or read book In vivo Models of HIV Disease and Control written by Herman Friedman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-04-27 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An AIDS vaccine is still elusive and HIV treatment continues to develop multidrug resistance at alarming rates. Because of the similarities between HIV and immune deficiency infections in a variety of animals, it is only natural that scientists use these animals as models to study pathogenesis, treatment, vaccine development and many other aspects of HIV. Part of the series Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis, this volume reviews the immune deficiency virus in a variety of hosts. Pathogenesis, vaccine and drug development, epidemiology, and the natural history of the monkey, mouse, cat, cow, horse, and other animal viruses are detailed and compared to HIV. Also included are chapters on the history and future of animal models, as well as a chapter on ethical and safety considerations in using animal models for AIDS studies.

Book Synopsis Experimental Animal Models of Human Diseases by : Bartholomew Ibeh
Download or read book Experimental Animal Models of Human Diseases written by Bartholomew Ibeh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has recorded losses in terms of human life as well as extensive time spent in experimentation with development of new drugs, elucidation of disease mechanism(s), and therapeutic agent discovery. Ethical and legal issues cojoin in slowing down scientific discoveries in medicine and biology. The past two (2) decades, therefore, have seen tremendous attempts that largely are successful in developing animal models with the characteristics of mimicking, approximating, or expressing transplanted human organs/tissues. These models or rather approaches seem to be fast, cost-effective, and easy to maintain compared to primates. This book is a collection of expert essays on animal models of human diseases of global interest. A visible objective of the book is to provide real-time experimental approach to scientists, clinicians, ethicists, medicolegal/medical jurisprudence workers, immunologists, postgraduate students, and vaccinologists and informative and multidisciplinary approach for the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers using animal models as well as investigating the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of human diseases. An increased understanding of the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms responsible for the development of human diseases has laid out the foundation for the development of rational therapies mainly with animal models.
Download or read book Retroviruses written by John M. Coffin and published by CSHL Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 25 years the study of retroviruses has underpinned much of what is known about information transfer in cells and the genetic and biochemical mechanisms that underlie cell growth and cancer induction. Emergent diseases such as AIDS and adult T-cell lymphoma have widened even further the community of investigators directly concerned with retroviruses, a development that has highlighted the need for an integrated understanding of their biology and their unique association with host genomes. This remarkable volume satisfies that need. Written by a group of the field's most distinguished investigators, rigorously edited to provide a seamless narrative, and elegantly designed for clarity and readability, this book is an instant classic that demands attention from scientists and physicians studying retroviruses and the disorders in which they play a role.

Book Synopsis Humanized Mice for HIV Research by : Larisa Y. Poluektova
Download or read book Humanized Mice for HIV Research written by Larisa Y. Poluektova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-18 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several years the field of humanized mice has matured and developed into an essential component of translational research for HIV/AIDS. Humanized mice serve both as vehicles for discovery and as highly sophisticated platforms for biomedical research. In addition, humanized mice have demonstrated outstanding potential for the investigation of critical aspects of the infection and pathogenesis of the hepatitis and herpes viruses, as well as highly relevant microbial infections such as tuberculosis and malaria. Humanized Mice for HIV Research provides a comprehensive presentation of the history, evolution, applications, and current state of the art of this unique animal model. An expansion of twelve review articles that were published in Humanized Mice by Springer in 2008 (Eds: Nomura T, Watanabe T, Habu S), this book expertly captures the outstanding progress that has been made in the development, improvement, implementation, and validation of humanized mouse models. The first two parts of this book cover the basics of human-to-mouse xenotransplantation biology, and provide critical information about human immune cell development and function based on individual models created from different immunodeficient strains of mice. The third and fourth parts investigate HIV-1 biology, including different routes of transmission, prevention, treatment, pathogenesis, and the development of adaptive immunity in humanized mice. The fifth part shows the broad applicability of humanized mice for therapeutic development, from long-acting antiretroviral combinations to genetic manipulations with human cells and cell-based approaches. The sixth part includes liver tissue engineering and the expansion of humanized mice for many other human cell-tropic pathogens.

Book Synopsis Adaptation and Study of AIDS Viruses in Animal and Cell Culture Systems by : Neal T. Wetherall
Download or read book Adaptation and Study of AIDS Viruses in Animal and Cell Culture Systems written by Neal T. Wetherall and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several small animal models of HIV infection have been proposed. We have developed a means to support the replication of HIV-1 which can produce large populations of infected mice for therapy screening and host-virus interactions. Nude mice (3-4 wks old) were exposed to 600 R's fo 137C's irradiation and inoculated with 1 x 107 HIV-1 infected CEM cells. The animals were followed daily for weight gain and tumor progression. Groups of 6 animals were exsanguinated at 8 intervals over a 9 week period and necropsies were performed. Plasma p24 antigen was detected at day 3 and rose over 9 weeks (2200 pg/ml). Where possible, plasma antigen was neutralized with human antisera to HIV-1. The infected mice did not exhibit any weight loss, but a highly significant difference was seen in tumor progression when compared to controls. Using immunohistochemistry, sheep raised polyclonal antibodies to viral p24 and gp 120 detected HIV proteins within tumor cells and mouse splenic macrophages. (JES).

Book Synopsis Models of Protection Against HIV/SIV by : Gianfranco Pancino
Download or read book Models of Protection Against HIV/SIV written by Gianfranco Pancino and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A successful vaccine for the prevention and/or immunotherapy against HIV/AIDS is one of the prominent challenges of the 21st century. To date, all human vaccine trials against this virus/disease have resulted in failure, or at best have shown very low efficacy. The scientific community dealing with HIV/AIDS has unanimously proposed a focus on basic science, with the intention of identifying correlates of protection that can serve as guides in developing and evaluating vaccine preparation. However, Nature seems to have already found several ways of dealing with infections by HIV and related primate lentiviruses, either by resisting infection or, once infected, avoiding immune damage and immunodeficiency. Models of Protection Against HIV/SIV will allow for an in-depth reflection on the perspectives for vaccine and therapy research derived from important recent studies. It will be authored by some of the most well known specialists in the field of HIV resistance/protection: including F. Barré-Sinoussi (2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine winner), B. Walker, S. Rowland-Jones, A. Telenti, M. Lederman and F. Plummer. This book is structured in a unique way, looking at three models of resistance/protection separately and then comparing the models against one another to provide its readership with a detailed examination of the research that is most predominant in the search for a vaccine. This structure presents the information in an easy-to-understand format and gives the book a cross-discipline appeal -- an important reference for those in the scientific community, medical care, public health and academia alike. Provides extensive descriptions and comparisons on the different models of protection agains HIV/AIDS Comprehensive writing and illustrations Contributors are among the most eminent specialists in the field
