I AGREE MORE IMMUNOLOGY QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED INTHIS FORUM SO HERE
GOES: (1) I AM NOT AN IMMUNOLOGIST BY TRAINNING BUT A REPRODUCTIVE PHYSIOLOGIST
.. THEREFORE, COULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN "LEDERBERG'S" MODEL MENTIONED BY FORSDYKE
IN REGARDS TO COUTINHO'S PAPER.
(2) WHILE WORKING AS A POST-DOC IN P.J. HANSEN'S LAB AT U. OF FL., WE INJECTED
rbIFNalpha INTO COWS AND NOTICED INCREASED BODY TEMPERATURE AND VISIBLE STRESS
IN THE COWS. ANY IDEAS WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS? SIMILAR EFFECTS IN OTHER SPECIES
?
