People Are Different From Mice

November 28th 2006 17:56
In the online article, "Human Tyrosine Kinase 2 Deficiency Reveals Its Requisite Roles in Multiple Cytokine Signals Involved in Innate and Acquired Immunity", Minegishi, et al, discuss their findings relating to Tyk2 in a patient diagnosed with hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES). The findings differ from those expected from a mouse model. Mice immune systems without the Tyk2 can be stimulated using a certain procedure, where the human immune systems must have the Tyk2 already present.

Adele,

Yes, this overreliance on animal studies is standing in the way of much research and the processing of thought to find solutions.
