Nuclear transplantation techniques and laboratory animals.

Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques in the clinical laboratory

A door may be opening into what could be a treasure house of diagnostic information. For many years the resonance of protons in a magnetic field has been exploited by biochemists, who have a comprehensive range of procedures to elicit all spectral responses of which spinning nuclei are capable. These responses depend on two factors; one is the immediate intramolecular environtment of the proton...

Allergy to laboratory animals in laboratory technicians and animal keepers.

The prevalence of allergy to laboratory animals (LAA) was investigated in laboratory technicians and animal keepers. In a questionnaire 41 of 101 technicians reported symptoms provoked by work with laboratory animals. On clinical investigation 30 were found to have symptoms and signs related to contact with animals, and allergy was confirmed by radioallergosorbent tests (RAST) and skin tests in...

Laboratory animals and the art of empathy.

Consistency is the hallmark of a coherent ethical philosophy. When considering the morality of particular behaviour, one should look to identify comparable situations and test one's approach to the former against one's approach to the latter. The obvious comparator for animal experiments is non-consensual experiments on people. In both cases, suffering and perhaps death is knowingly caused to t...
