    Virtually every major medical advance of thelast 100 years (as well as advances in veterinary

    medicine) has depended on research with animals.

    Animal studies have provided the scientific

    improve the quality of life for humans and

    animals by preventing and treating diseases and

    disorders, and by easing pain and suffering.

    INTRODUCTION

    Animal testing, also known as animalexperimentation, animal research, and in

    vivo testing, is the use of nonhuman animals inexperiments.

    Number of vertebrate ranges from the tens ofmillions to more than 100 million used annually.

    Number

    of I

    nvertebrates mice, rats, birds,fish, frogs. estimate of mice and rats used in

    the United States alone in 2001 was 80 million.

    Most animals are euthanized after being used in

    an experiment.

    Sources of laboratory animals vary betweencountries and species; most animals are purpose

    bred, while others are caught in the wild orsupplied by dealers.

    History

    Earliest animal testing are found in the writingsof the Greeks in the 2nd and 4th centuries B.C.

    Aristotle (384322 B.C) and Erasistratus (304258

    B.C) were among the first to performexperiments on living animals.

    Galen, a physician in 2nd-century Rome, dissected

    pigs and goats, and is known as the "father of

    vivisection.

    Moorish Spain who also practiced dissection,introduced animal testing as an experimental

    method of testing surgical procedures before8

    1946 Post WWII boom in public funding of science.

    1950 Chicago Five Animal Care Panel

    Louis Pasteur convincingly demonstrated

    the germ theory of medicine by

    inducing anthrax in sheep.

    Ivan Pavlov famously used dogs to

    describe classical conditioning. On November 3,

    1957, a Russian dog, Laika, became the first ofmany animals to orbit the earth.

    In the 1970s, antibiotic treatments and vaccines

    for leprosy were developed using

    armadillos, then given to humans.

    Reasons for use of Animals in

    researchOrgans and body systems similar to humans and other animals

    1. Similar anatomies

    2. Even though they may be different sizes and

    shapes, humans and animals both have bonesthat contain marrow and produce blood cells.

    3. Same hormones that aid digestion and regulate

    the reproductive cycle. 11

    Susceptible to same diseases that affect humans

    1. Cancers, diabetes, and heart diseases. Eg. dog

    whose cardiovascular system closely resembles

    that of the human.

    2. Many successful medical breakthroughs that

    can be attributed to the dog and that are now

    commonly applied to humans includes Heart

    transplantation, Coronary bypass surgery,

    Artificial heart valves, Pacemaker implantation,Angioplasty

    Short life span allows animals to be studied throughout their

    entire life

    1. Rodents such as rats and mice

    Environment easily controllable to keep experimental variablesto minimum

    1. Under stress, the research is not reliable.

    15/103

    Invertebrates

    i. Although many more invertebrates than

    vertebrates are used, these experiments arelargely unregulated by law.

    ii. Most used invertebrate species are Drosophila

    melanogaster, a fruit fly, and Caenorhabditiselegans, a nematode worm.

    15

    C. elegans The worm's body is completely

    transparent.

    Studies in the fly D. melanogaster can use an

    amazing array of genetic tools

    Vertebrates

    Mice

    Rats

    Hamsters

    Dogs, cats, rabbits, farm animals, fish, frogs,

    birds, nonhuman primates

    Animal Selection

    Animal qualityI. Health quality

    a. Conventional

    b. Specific pathogen free (SPF)

    c. Germ free

    19/103

    Conventional - An animal is colonized bythe burden of resident microorganisms which is

    normally ass

    ociated with its particular species.

    Germ-free animal 1. Animals that have no microorganisms living in or

    on it.

    2. Such animals are raised within germfree isolators

    in order to control their exposure to viral,

    bacterial or parasitic agents

    3. When known strains of bacteria or micro biota are

    introduced to a germ-free animal, it usually

    referred to as a gnotobiotic animal.

    4. Used in the study of probiotic research 19

    Specific pathogen free (SPF)

    1. Animals that are guaranteedf

    reeof

    particular pathogens.

    2. It is always accompanied by a list of the absent

    pathogens.

    3. Use of SPF animals ensures that specified

    diseases do not interfere with an experiment

    4. For example, absence of respiratory pathogens

    such as influenza is desirable when investigating

    a drug's effect on lung function.

    Inbred animals

    Individuals of a particular species which are

    nearly identical to each other in genotype due tolong inbreeding.

    Frequently used in laboratories.

    For some experiments, genetic diversity in the

    test population may be desired. Thus out bred

    strains of most laboratory animals are alsoavailable

    Transgenic

    27

    Refers to an animal in which there has been a deliberate

    modification of the genome (material responsible for inherited

    characteristics) - in contrast to spontaneous mutation (FELASA, 1995 -

    Federation for Laboratory Animal Science Associations)

    Foreign DNA is introduced into the animal, using recombinant DNAtechnology.

    Must be transmitted through the germ line so that every cell, including

    germ cells, of the animal contain the same modified genetic material.

    Should be constructed of sturdy, durable

    materials and designed to minimize cross

    infection between adjoining units.

    Attention must be given to

    eliminating sharp edges

    and broken wires,

    keeping cage in good

    condition.

    Social environment

    The social environment includes all interactions

    among individuals of a group or among those able

    to communicate.

    Population density can affect reproduction,

    metabolism, immune responses and behavior.

    Should enrich the environment as appropriate to

    the species, especially when animals will be held

    for long periods.

    Environment control

    Temperature and humidity affect metabolism and behavior.

    Air conditioning is an effective means of regulating these

    environmentalparameters for laboratory animals.

    41

    VENTILATION

    The purpose of ventilation is to supply adequate oxygen;

    Remove thermal loads caused by animal respiration,

    Lights and equipment;

    Dilute gaseous and particulate contaminants;

    for animal facilities.

    Ventilation also provides an odor free environment.

    42

    ILLUMINATION

    Light can affect thephysiology andbehaviorof various animals.

    Lighting should be uniformly diffused throughout animals facilities

    and provide sufficient illumination.

    Fluorescent tube lights fixed in such a way facilitate uniform

    distribution of light.

    Light intensity of350-400 lux one metre above the floor level is ideal.

    43/103

    Separation of human from animal areas is the best way to

    minimize disturbances.

    Continuous exposure to acoustical levels above 85 dB canhave both auditory and no auditory effects, including

    Eosinopenia and increased adrenal weights in rodents.

    Reduced fertility in rodents.

    Pure Research (Basic research)

    a. Investigates how organisms behave, develop,and function.

    b. Uses larger numbers and a greater variety of

    animals than applied research Fruit flies,nematode worms, mice and rats together

    account for the vast majority, though small

    numbers of other species are used, ranging

    from sea slugs to armadillos.

    c. By this, scientists aim to understand both how

    organisms normally develop, and what can go

    wrong in this process.79

  • 8/3/2019 Lab Animals - Kush

    80/103

    E.g. Studies on embryogenesis and developmental biology

    where mutants are created byadding transposons into their genomes, or

    specific genes are deleted by gene targeting.

    Experiments into behavior, to understand how

    organisms detect and interact with each other

    and their environment (fruit flies, worms, mice,

    and rats).

    Breeding experiments tostudy evolution and genetics.

    81/103

    Applied Research a. Applied research aims to solve specific and

    practical problems.

    b. They are usually carried out in the pharmaceutical

    industry, or by universities in commercial

    partnerships.

    c. May involve the use of animal models of diseasesor conditions, which are often discovered or

    generated by pure research programs.

    d. Such applied studies may be an early stage in

    the drug discovery process.

    E.g..

    Genetic modification of animals to study disease.

    Transgenic animals have specific genes inserted,

    modified or removed, to mimic specific

    conditions such as single gene disorder, such

    as Huntington's disease

    Studies on models of naturally occurring disease

    and condition.

    Cats are used as a model to develop

    immunodeficiency virus vaccines and to

    Armadillos and humans are among only a few

    animal species that naturally suffer

    from leprosy; as the bacteria responsible for

    this disease cannot yet be grown in culture,armadillos are the primary source of bacilli usedin leprosy vaccines.

    Xenotransplantation

    Involves transplanting tissues or organs from

    one species to another, as a way to overcome the

    shortage of human organs for use in organ

    transplants.

    problem, recent clinical trials that involved

    Toxicology testing (safety testing)

    Conducted by pharmaceutical companies testingdrugs, or by contract animal testing facilities.

    Tests are conducted without anesthesia,

    because interactions between drugs can affecthow animals detoxify chemicals, and may

    interfere with the results.

    Injected intravenously, intramuscularly,

    or subcutaneously.

    Inhaled either by placing a mask over the animals

    and restraining them, or by placing them in aninhalation chamber; or administered orally,

    through a tube into the stomach, or simply in

    the animal's food.

    E.g. The LD50 ("Lethal Dose 50%") test is used toevaluate the toxicity of a substance by

    determining the dose required to kill 50% of the

    test animal population.85

    intraperitoneally, intramuscularly,

    or transdermally.

    Toxicology tests, which gauge acute, sub-acute,

    and chronic toxicity.

    Efficacy studies, which test whether

    experimental drugs work by inducing the

    appropriate illness in animals.

    The Principles ofHumane Experimental

  • 8/3/2019 Lab Animals - Kush

    98/103

    Technique

    In 1959, Russell and Burch proposed the conceptof the Three Rs.

    REPLACEMENT refers to methods which avoid or

    replace the use of animals in an area whereanimals would otherwise have been used.

    REDUCTION refers to any strategy that will

    result inf

    ewer animals being used

    REFINEMENT refers to the modification ofhusbandry or experimental procedures to

    minimize pain and distress 98

    These Rs are widely accepted ethical principles.

  • 8/3/2019 Lab Animals - Kush

    99/103

    These Rs are widely accepted ethical principles.

    Now embedded in the conduct of animalbased

    science in Canada and throughout many

    countries in the world.
