Animal Models in Dermatology
Edinburgh, London and New York: Churchill Livingstone, 1975.
Animal Models in Dermatology: Relevance to Human Dermatopharmacology and Dermatotoxicology, edited by Howard I. Maibach, M.D. of the University of California, San Francisco, collects the proceedings of a 1975 symposium held at UCSF bringing together dermatologists, toxicologists, and pharmacologists to examine how animal testing models translate to human skin response. The 28 papers gathered here tackle the central question of the field at the time: which animal models — rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, rhesus monkey, or mouse — most reliably predict how a compound will behave on human skin, and where those models fall short. Contributors from institutions such as the U.S. Environmental Health Agency at Edgewood Arsenal, Upjohn, Scripps Clinic, Temple University's Skin and Cancer Hospital, and Searle Laboratories address subjects ranging from primary irritation and contact sensitization testing to percutaneous absorption, phototoxicity, and skin carcinogenesis.
