Nonhuman Primate Models for SARS
S evere acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) fi rst emerged in Guangdong Province, the People's Republic of China, in November 2002. The disease was characterised by a rapidly progressive atypical pneumonia [1]. In addition to other pathogens, a coronavirus not previously discovered was identifi ed in patients with SARS. Reproduction of a similar disease in cynomolgus macaques with this virus comp...
متن کاملNonhuman primate models of asthma
Asthma is a complex human disease that does not have an accurate counterpart in any common model organism. Most of our understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying asthma comes from studies in man and mouse. However, there are fundamental differences between the spontaneous disease in man and the experimentally induced counterparts in mice. We advocate more extensive use of nonhuman primat...

متن کاملSerotonin transporter binding and genotype in the nonhuman primate brain using [C-11]DASB PET
UNLABELLED The length polymorphism of the serotonin (5-HT) transporter gene promoter region has been implicated in altered 5-HT function and, in turn, neuropsychiatric illnesses, such as anxiety and depression. The nonhuman primate has been used as a model to study anxiety-related mechanisms in humans based upon similarities in behavior and the presence of a similar 5-HT transporter gene polymo...
متن کاملBeta and electron dose calculations to skin due to contamination by common nuclear medicine radionuclides.
We present dose calculations to the basal cell layer of the epidermis resulting from skin contamination by radionuclides used in nuclear medicine. Dose calculations were made using the computer code VARSKIN, as modified by us to include these radionuclides and to account for their monoenergetic electron emissions. Results indicate that basal skin doses (taken to be at a depth of 0.007 cm) are a...
