Karger AG (Switzerland). This book was released on 1996 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, animal experimentation has played an important part in the development and quality control of immunobiological products. These days, however, concern about animal welfare is growing and, consequently, increasing emphasis is placed on the use of in vitro methods. This book reports the proceedings of a symposium held at the Paul Ehrlich Institute in Langen, Germany, in November 1994, at which the application of the three Rs principle - replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of animal experiments - was evaluated and recommendations were given. A review of the history of animal experimentation is followed by reports of various international organizations (including the European Pharmacopoeia and the World Health Organization) about their activities with respect to upholding the three Rs principle. It is shown that significant progress has been made in the last few years in the fields of pyrogen testing, hormones, blood products and vaccines. Several new in vitro methods for potency, efficacy and safety testing of vaccines are presented and discussed. General problems such as harmonization, statistics and validation, serological methods and cell cultures are also addressed. Demonstrating that sound science and animal welfare are not irreconcilable, this volume is a valuable resource for all those concerned with the development and manufacture of biological products.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the use of alternative in vitro reduction and refinement methods in the development and control of biological products has increased considerably in the last few years. The issues raised are of concern to the scientific community as well as to manufacturers, regulatory authorities and those involved in animal ethics and welfare. A large number of physicochemical, immunochemical, biochemical and cell biological methods have been proposed for the replacement, reduction and refining of animal tests in the development and control of human and veterinary vaccines and other biological products. However, the implementation, validation and ultimate regulatory acceptance of these procedures are still at a very early stage. This volume contains the proceedings of a meeting, which brought together research scientists, manufacturers and regulators with the aim of promoting an exchange of scientific knowledge and increasing awareness of the importance of validation studies.

Download or read book Animal Genomics for Animal Health written by Marie-Hélène Pinard and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It includes a review of the state of the art in animal genomics and its applications to animal health. The contributions describe the new tools available, such as HapMaps for chicken and cattle, and show how the understanding of gene structure and function can be successfully applied to delineate the molecular mechanisms of disease and determine complex phenotypes associated with health traits. A critical evaluation of future needs and future applications of animal genomics is also presented. The integration of animal genomics in animal health research is likely to revolutionize the way scientists approach the challenges of discovering highly effective drugs and vaccines for animal diseases."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Vaccines and Diagnostics for Transboundary Animal Diseases written by J.A. Roth and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transboundary animal diseases (TADs) are a major threat to livestock. They are highly contagious or transmissible, and they have the potential to cause high morbidity and mortality in both susceptible animal populations and humans. In addition, not only are TADs detrimental to national economies, they are also a serious threat to world food security. This volume presents the proceedings of an international workshop on Vaccines and Diagnostics for Transboundary Animal Diseases that was held in Ames (Iowa, USA) in 2012. Experts and scientists from academia, industry and government reviewed the current status of vaccines and diagnostics for high priority TADs, decision-making and regulatory processes for veterinary biologics, and the roles and responsibilities of government agencies. The discussions also addressed achievements and gaps in vaccine and diagnostics development for 11 important TADs as well as the translation of research findings into licensed novel vaccines and diagnostics for high-priority TADs.
