绵羊对免疫学研究作出了宝贵的贡献。从研究自然宿主的感染中得到的教训。选择生物医学模型时要考虑的因素。人类疾病的动物模型是许多生物医学领域的重要工具;例如,在传染病研究和新型药物和医疗设备的开发。大多数涉及动物的研究都使用啮齿动物,特别是同源小鼠,因为可以获得大量的菌株,并且可以轻松地对它们进行基因操作。小鼠模型的使用在许多研究领域取得了重大进展,特别是在免疫学领域,但尽管取得了这些进展,没有一种动物模型能够准确地再现人类疾病的所有特征。越来越多的人认识到,在许多情况下,老鼠不能提供最好的模型,替代物种可能更合适。在这里,我们描述了羊作为人类生理和疾病的生物医学模型与小鼠相比的相对优点,特别关注生殖和呼吸道病原体。
Sheep make a valuable contribution to immunology research. Lessons to be learned from studying infections in the natural host. Factors to consider when selecting biomedical models. Animal models of human disease are important tools in many areas of biomedicine; for example, in infectious disease research and in the development of novel drugs and medical devices. Most studies involving animals use rodents, in particular congenic mice, due to the availability of a wide number of strains and the ease with which they can be genetically manipulated. The use of mouse models has led to major advances in many fields of research, in particular in immunology but despite these advances, no animal model can exactly reproduce all the features of human disease. It is increasingly becoming recognised that in many circumstances mice do not provide the best model and that alternative species may be more appropriate. Here, we describe the relative merits of sheep as biomedical models for human physiology and disease in comparison to mice, with a particular focus on reproductive and respiratory pathogens.
