material and endpoint as the new in vitro test with human blood. Several steps were necessary to establish the rabbit whole blood test: i) Production of recombinant rabbit IL-1β in E. coli (positive control for the ELISA, substance to immunise the animals in step two), ii) Immunisation of a sheep with the IL-1β antigen, iii) Immunisation of mice with IL-1β and production of monoclonal antibodies, iv) Establishment of a sandwich ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) with the antibodies and the
economy affecting both human and animals. It has great public health significance because it can be transmitted both directly and indirectly to human with consequence illness causing incapacitation and loss of man power but also because of serious diminution of much essential and important food stuff. (WHO.,1971). In India, brucellosis is recorded in almost all states but the scenario differs between states and is present in different species of mammalian farm animals including cattle, goats, buffalo
More animals are belonging to diurnal animals. They have a high competition in hunting food because of other predators. Diurnal animals hunt at day while nocturnal search food at night. Therefore, in this case, both animals can find their food without competing each other. Many animals that live in extremely hot and arid places avoid the heat of the day and water loss by being active at night. This case is common at animals which live at dry places or at desserts
Environmental pollution is one of the major problems in most of the countries all over the world. Water pollution appears to be occurred due to untreated sewage, animal waste, dead algae and so on. Large number of chemicals can contaminate environments and aquatic animals including fish and amphibians during their stage of development and throughout their adult life. Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) has been found in aquatic environments, particularly in river water due to humans’ activities as NPE is
effects on living beings. Environmental impacts of waste from agricultural and food processing industry are inevitable due to their wide composition (Thakur, 2006). Now a days, toxicity studies of such pollutants in environment are gaining immense importance. In recent years pollution of the ecosystem due to various anthropogenic substances known as xenobiotics is rising. Some of the examples of xenobiotics are toxic chemicals used in industries, substances from wastewater, heavy metals in different
organisms inhabiting it, especially plants. Plants generally obtain nutrient elements and water from soil. The importance of soil features to plants is that edaphic factors could influence on plant ecology and shaping plant evolution. Soil is the foundation of all terrestrial habitats and plays an important role in determining the type of vegetation. Soil features could also directly influence the animal evolution. These direct effects of soils on biota are supplemented
makes a matter concrete [60 p.277]. It is the skill of identifying where something of importance is happening through the analysis of sensory input. From within the cognitive sciences, Gregory Bateson and Leon Festinger assert that humans tend to focus on ‘cognitive dissonances’, i.e. difficulties and contradictions. Festinger argued that these complicated experiences could be traced directly to animal behavior, consisting of the capacity to attend to a here or this, as parallel processing
Knowledge, or TEK, is used to describe the knowledge held by native cultures about their direct environment and the ethnic practices that build on that knowledge. Traditional ecological knowledge includes an intimate and detailed knowledge of plants, animals, and natural phenomena, the development and use of appropriate technologies for fishing, hunting, trapping, agriculture, and forestry, and a holistic knowledge, or "world view" which parallels the scientific discipline of ecology (Berkes 1993).
requirement and obligation (Thaul, 2012). Then, NDA are submitted by the manufacturers to the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) for marketing approval of the drugs. The NDA contain the result and the analyzed data from both human and animal trials in the pre-clinical and clinical trials. Besides, the NDA also includes the information on how the drug works in the body and the process and facilities involved in manufacturing the drug. Apart from that, NDA contain the product description
species of animals. During this stage, safety data is collected and evaluated before carrying out human trials. It holds an importance place in drug development because it holds a baseline for the human trials. Based on non clinical trials NOAEL (No Observable Adverse Effect Levels) is determined before testing out the drug on patients. The non clinical development of Ivacaftor was satisfactory for the drug approval because it showed promised results when the drug was tested out on the animals. Since
