Abstract
A few limited examples of large animal models are outlined, with the main emphasis on baboon models. The baboon offers all the advantages of a large animal and is comparable with humans in nearly all physiological and immunological aspects. In addition, cross-reactivity with human therapeutic and diagnostic reagents allows testing of new species-specific therapies such as antihuman antibodies, on the one hand, and monitoring with available human analytical procedures, on the other.Entities:
