Abstract:
Use of the primate is gaining popularity in the definition of anti-asthma drugs. The present report describes three novel tests of (1) bronchodilatation, (2) hyperreactivity and (3) anti-inflammatory activity in the rhesus monkey. All tests are based on standard clinical techniques and the relevance and application of the tests to subsequent clinical evaluation is addressed.
