...Spread. Drs. Meyer and Parkman spent two years growing 77 crops of rubella virus, each "seeded" from the preceding crop. At this point, they inoculated rhesus monkeys with what they called HPV-77 (for high-passage virus). Happily, the vaccinated monkeys showed no signs of rubella, but developed antibody against it, while their cagemates remained free of infection. The first human testing of the vaccine was equally sensitive: the subjects had to be children with no history of rubella, and no possible contact with pregnant women...
Working with an annual budget of $1 million, the Center's permanent staff of seven will study rhesus monkeys, sebus monkeys, and shrews. All members of this staff will be from the Medical School and the College...
Though hard-hit by graduation losses, plagued by student apathy, and riding on the trough of a 33-game losing streak, Crimson coach Rhesus J. Portfolio '00 is "cautiously optimistic" about his team's chances for success this season...
...team led by Dr. Robert J. White takes a brain, which is about as big as a man's fist, out of a rhesus monkey's skull, retains only small bits of bone to serve as supports, and suspends the brain in an apparatus of tubes and rods. Its blood vessels are hitched to a small heart-lung machine, and fresh blood is supplied from a monkey blood bank. Delicate needles stuck in its surface al low an electroencephalograph to measure the electrical activity by which all brains do their work...
...species. Just as predicted by evolutionary theory, mouse DNA combined nicely with that of other rodents, such as rats and hamsters. But it showed much less attraction for the DNA of monkeys and cattle. Human DNA demonstrated only moderate interest in mouse, but it combined with some from a rhesus monkey almost as strongly as if the stuff came from a human. Both mouse and human showed weak interest in DNA from salmon, and almost none in that from bacteria...
