    摘要: This invention is directed to methods for manipulating sex, reversing sex, changing sex ratio, or moderating crustacean androgenic gland peptide expression in crustaceans for producing a monosex culture. In one embodiment, the present method comprises the step of injecting a dsRNA for the gene of IAG into a male crustacean. In another embodiment, the present method comprises the step of injecting a dsRNA for the gene of IAG into a female crustacean that had acquired a spermatophore (a sperm sac) after mating with a male. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of producing a monosex culture of crustacean by introducing a recombinant IAG peptide into the female crustacean, thereby obtains male with altered sexual characteristics for mating with a normal female. In one embodiment, the crustacean is a shrimp or lobster.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a method of determining whether an agent causes immune toxicity in a human comprising administering the agent to a non-human mammal that has been engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and administered one or more human cytokines; and determining whether the agent causes immune toxicity in the non-human mammal. If the agent causes immune toxicity in the non-human mammal then the agent causes toxicity in a human. The invention is also directed to a method of determining whether administration of an agent causes cytokine release syndrome in an individual in need thereof comprising administering the agent to a non-human mammal that has been engrafted with HSCs and administered one or more human cytokines; and determining whether the agent causes cytokine release syndrome in the non-human mammal. If the agent causes cytokine release syndrome in the non-human mammal then the agent will cause cytokine release syndrome in the human.

    摘要: HIV does not cause disease in any non-human species. Thus, there is no animal model system to evaluate the efficacy of strategies aimed at preventing, treating or curing disease caused by this virus. The present invention provides compositions and a method for producing an animal model for HIV induced disease. The present invention is an animal adapted to simulate a human-like immune response to HIV, which is accomplished by activation and inactivation of complement of proteins within the animal. Accordingly, the present invention stages certain human proteins within an animal by way of its gut associated lymphoid tissue followed by infection of live HIV.
