Dr. Weissman and Dr. Kariko then showed they could induce an animal a monkey to make a protein they had selected. The parvovirus vaccine is another important one, according to Gail Hansen, a representative from the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association. At that point, you've got to succeed.". We have come a long way since I started this last February. We have vaccines now, but we have variants emerging too. Gerdts says ferrets are cheaper and easier to work with than nonhuman primates, and researchers can test their full arsenal of potential treatments on them. Time off from work would consist of going to a weekend convention to get away from the real-world so to speak and then M-F I would go back to normal life until the next convention came around, never intertwining the two.
