Biography:
After a school career completed as Dux of Arbroath High School with school medals in English, Greek, Maths and Science, I opted to study Biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh. In 1959, I was awarded one of 4 Keasbey Memorial Bursaries for academic excellence. I graduated with BSc honours in Biochemistry in 1962 and went on to obtain my PhD in July 1965.In 1967, after a period as Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, I came to the University of Edinburgh Department of Zoology to work on the cell cycle with Professor Murdoch Mitchison. I remained at the University of Edinburgh until 1970 when I obtained a Lectureship at The Heriot-Watt University. Initially I continued my research on the cell cycle and developed a hypothesis concerning the role of magnesium in control of cell division based on observations of the large flux that occurs at the time of division. My work on the cell cycle and other biological control systems was supported by a series of grants from the Science Research Council and was recognised by the award of the degree of DSc by Heriot-Watt University in 1981.
In 1973, I was asked to advise on prevention of toxic hazards for fish and human consumers from possible discharge of metals near fishing grounds. This led to increasing involvement in environmental toxicology and I developed a course for our students and wrote the textbook, "Environmental Toxicology". Favourable comment on the book brought me to the attention of the World Health Organiza- tion Regional Office for Europe and I became their main consultant on Manpower Development in Toxicology under the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). Further consultancies on this and on other aspects of chemical safety followed together with involvement in overseas programmes (with UNDP, UNEP, ILO, IRPTC etc.), especially in South East Asia - India, Thailand, and Indonesia, but also in Africa, Mexico, South America and the USSR. Nineteen ninety-two saw the publication of IPCS Training Module No. 1, the beginning of a modular teaching programme which I started developing for WHO in 1980. This module established the ground plan for succeeding modules as part of target curricula for toxicologists and environmental health personnel. In addition, my textbooks on toxicology and other subjects have now been translated into Bahasa Malaysia, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Some of the World Health Organization work has been in collaboration with the European Commission (EC) and I have just completed my third contract with EC Directorate General V on 'Assessment of Carcinogenicity of Industrial and Other Chemicals'. I was also responsible for organizing, with DGV and Eurometaux, the "International Seminar on Assessment of Carcinogenic Risk from Occupational Exposure to Inorganic substances" held in Luxembourg in October 1995. In 1989, in response to growing demand for work on toxicological problems, the Edinburgh Centre for Toxicology was founded with myself as Director and EC Contracts and my other activities are carried out through the Centre. The Centre has a small core of personnel and operates by putting together task groups for problems as they are presented. Because of my background, relating metals to fundamental biochemical processes, and that of chief medical consultant, Dr Draper, relating to physiological handling of metals, in addition to the chemical expertise of my deputy, Dr Park, we are particularly interested in problems related to inorganic substances and metal compounds.
I am a founder member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Toxicology Group, former chairman of the group, and now a member of the RSC Committee on Environment, Health and Safety and Vice Chairman of the Special Projects Core Committee. I was elected in 1991 as a Titular Member of The Commission on Toxicology of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and I am the United Kingdom representative on the Commission. I chaired the IUPAC Working Party preparing a Glossary for Chemists of Terms Used in Toxicology published in 1993. I am currently a member of the United Kingdom Department of the Environment 'Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances' and the Department of Health 'Health Advisory Group on Chemical Contamination Incidents'. I have contributed to the European Science Foundation Working Group on "Economic Analysis in Environmental Toxicology". I was a member of the WHO Task Force which prepared background documents for the Second European Conference on Environment and Health held in Helsinkiin June 1994. I am currently preparing a course on 'Risk Assessment' for the United Nations Environment Programme International Register of Potentially Toxic Substances.
I have authored or contributed significantly to 126 major publications and received extensive financial support from UK Research Councils, the Commission of the European Communities, and other national and international organizations such as IPCS, UNEP and IRPTC.
DR. DAVID DUFFUS
Department of Geography - University of Victoria
Dr. David Duffus believes whale watching will change your life. Observing a beast so enormous yet graceful enough to slide under a boat with only a ripple in its wake is an awe inspiring experience. Face to face experiences such as this will hopefully lead to an appreciation of the existing balance between humans and nature.
Research in the field of marine mammals seeks to set aside the old order of scientific exploration that has humans relegated to a peripheral position. Dr. Duffus endeavours to understand the multifaceted relationship between wildlife and humans on a first hand basis that places the scientist close to nature; close enough to count a killer whale's teeth as it breaks the surface.
Scientific observation of marine wildlife helps build ecological foundations for wildlife conservation efforts. With an understanding of how humanity affects the wild, new directions in conservation, institutional arrangements, development issues, wildlife use and management, and scientific-ethical questions can be opened up for questioning.
The core of marine mammal research at the University of Victoria is found at the Department of Geography. Working with various research associates, colleagues, and talented graduate students, Dr. Duffus has been able to put forward a number of research projects. To say the least, UVic research has grown in strength and gained a good measure of respect in the marine mammal community.
Research on marine mammal ecology and conservation extends across innovative projects on grey whale feeding ecology, harbour porpoise conservation and the ethics of whales in captivity.
Dr. Duffus has been researching the grey whale feeding ecology project in Clayoquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island for over 4 years. He has been aided by 3 graduate students, a number of research associates and hopes to involve the local native community in the research process. Dr. Duffus has led a pioneering effort in grey whale feeding pattern research by employing the time depth recorder to his analysis. This harmless recorder has a computer control that is temporarily attached to the grey whale by means of a suction cup. The research goal is to establish a data base of grey whale feeding behaviour to be used in testing the applicability of optimal foraging theory to large marine mammals. Behaviour patterns are established by intensive analysis of spatial and respiratory behaviour. This database of knowledge can then be applied to studies that research the effects of recreational whale watching vessels on grey whale behaviour. The results will provide foundations for the management of whale watching and protected management for whales in the Clayoquot Sound area. When people are brought into a close but managed encounter with marine life they can learn to respect the environment while they enjoy the beauty of their surroundings.
The ecological balance between human activity and marine life is difficult to assess. For example, while harbour porpoises are declared an endangered species on the east coast of North America, there is no empirical data on these west coast cetaceans to formulate any kind of conservation opinion. In collaboration with the Marine Mammal Research Group and the Stranding Network, Dr. Duffus hopes to discover if there is any correlation between the rise of porpoise deaths in local waters and anthropogenic effluents. Dr. Duffus and his associates have been applying the methods of gross pathology and toxicology in a systematic sampling of heavy metal and organo chlorine deposits in harbour porpoises. It is clear that these creatures are taking the brunt of increasing pollution; the goal is the difficult task of assessing the damage. What is known for sure though is that cetaceans are slow to recolonize. Evidence of this is found in the waters off Nanaimo B.C. that have been relatively vacant of whales since the whaling station was booming there in the 1850's.
Putting into effect the methods of both natural and social sciences is Linda Sheehan, a geography graduate student of Dr. Duffus. Human Dimensions of Cetaceans in Captivity is the name of the project that applies qualitative analysis of public opinion on whale captivity. The focus of the project is to try and understand the benefit that people obtain from seeing captive displays and compare that to what facilities propose to provide. Traditional polling methods are often ambiguous and only offer rhetorical responses to questionnaires. Sheehan uses in-depth and intensive interviews with employees of the Vancouver Aquarium and members of the public in her progressive research on the human dimension. This type of study makes people think twice about the views they hold, and it promotes ideas on conservation.
Elsewhere in the Department of Geography, ongoing and proposed research interests of Dr. P. Keller focus on the advancement of geographic information analysis and management techniques to better facilitate regional planning, resource management and decision making. Research projects include investigation into temporal dynamics in spatial analysis, marine Geographical Information Systems (GIS), design of innovative interpolation techniques to facilitate thematic surface modeling, investigation of uncertainty in natural resource data, the integration of GIS in tourism planning, the study of GIS management strategies and issues of spatial data access.
Marine Mammals -
Feeding Ecology & Disturbance
Dr. David Duffus leads a team of researchers focusing on several aspects of marine mammal ecology.Field work concentrates on gathering basic data about grey and killer whale feeding patterns. Surface observations, supplemented with bottom sampling and other data gathering techniques have yielded a considerable amount of basic data regarding behaviour. Utilizing many years of accumulated field data, spatial analysis of the results have led to new insights into feeding ecology.
Parallel research into human-whale interactions and disturbance have also yielded considerable data. Graduate students have examined the philosophical, biogeographical, and the tourism aspects of the rapidly growing industry of "whale watching".

The Whale Research Lab
University of Victoria
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Students enjoy lunch on the beach in Pacific Rim National Park while listening to a talk by the University of Victoria's Dr. Dave Duffus on marine geography.
The Whale Reseach Lab at the University of Victoria consists of a small group of graduate students, interested faculty, associates and visitors from a number of places. We have grown from a small field research-based group, begun in the late 1980's by Dave Duffus and Phil Dearden. Their early studies on whales and whale-watching around Vancouver Island have evolved into a number of linked studies of whales and people in several sites. Both Duffus and Dearden acknowledge the large number of talented and determined field researchers and students that have kept us involved in field sites from Clayoquot Sound, British Columbia, to the Mekong River, South East Asia, and in human relationships with marine wildlife to toxicology studies.
Our approach to marine mammal research is a little unusual, beginning with our presence in a geography department. At the core, our interest is conservation, and within the spectrum of things that conservation can mean, ours lies on the side of protecting the animals and their environment, rather than the "wise use" dictum currently vogue by industrial resource users. The studies we have participated in range from ecology to socio-historical traditions, and the methods from counting and weighing pelagic crab larvae to "in-depth" interviews with aboriginal people about the history of fur sealing.
New projects are coming on-line through links with people in a number of
research traditions. Being in a research area with strong spatial traditions we are benefitting from advanced remote sensing and GIS capability, and
decision-making models for resource management, developed through our
geography collegues. We are developing research projects using landscape ecology traditions with new linkages to researchers from a number of other universities. The management work that we began early on in also a continuing effort through a number of projects. As whale-watching grows around the globe we are continuing studies and action to work towards maximizing conservation benefit and minimizing disruption to the animals and habitat. Links to detailed descriptions of our present projects can be found below.
Communications and dialogue are also principal interests of ours. In the past few years we have participated in, and developed several workshops, at both the local and international scale. MARMAM, the sometimes controversial discussion list, originates here, begun as the brainchild of Dr. Robin Baird, before the WEB and Internet were in everyday use.
Our small group has gained support from around our campus, in the local
community and region, and from friends and associates far afield.

WHALE-WATCHING RESEARCH
WORKSHOP
JANUARY 18, 1998
WORLD MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE CONFERENCE
MONACO, JANUARY 19-26, 1998
Chris Malcolm and Dave Duffus
Whale Research Lab, Dept. of Geography, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC,
CanadaINTRODUCTION
As whale watching increases in popularity on a global scale we are beginning to realise that our knowledge of the cetaceans involved is not increasing on a similar scale. We find ourselves increasingly in the realm of uncertainty, yet economic pressures, or lack of knowledge itself, are often used as reasons to override implementation of precautionary approach techniques in whale-watching management.
The University of Victoria Whale Research Lab has been examining the growth of whale-watching in British Columbia since 1988, from its austere beginnings in the early 1980's, to the important industry it has become in the province today. However, along with this growth have come the problems like that mentioned above. Having participated in previous workshops and meetings regarding whale-watching, and finding ourselves involved again in this issue, we decided in the fall of 1997 that it was time again to bring together a group of concerned people. On January 18th, 1998, during the World Marine Mammal Science Conference, in Monaco, we therefore held a workshop on whale-watching research.
Our intention was to explore and discuss some of the most recent research focused on cetacean populations subject to recreational whale-watching. As a jumping-off point, we revisited the "Making Decisions about Whale-Watching Rules" framework, developed by Steve Leatherwood at the Montecastello, Italy, workshop, held in 1995. In memory of Steve, we christened the framework the "Leatherwood Principle," the principle being hypothetical science as a foundation for decision-making.
We invited five researchers from various locations around the world to address in detail the ecologic, socio-economic, and research status of each of their situations. Pitched battles with slide projectors and VCRs ensued. Discussion of the particular situations followed each presentation.
During the second half of the day an open discussion took place. The discussion allowed for both experienced and inexperienced researchers to exchange ideas and develop a dialogue focussing on important issues.
Below are links to the Leatherwood Principle, abstracts of the five
presentations, a summary of the workshop results, minutes of the open
discussion session, as well as email and web links to the presenters and chairs.
We welcome comments and recommendations on the report.

GRANTS AND APPLICATIONS
PSEP Funding Philosophy
PSEP is largely funded by contributions from the community. Contributions from the University are minimal, involving only utilities, office space and some equipment support (e.g. computer).
To date, PSEP funding has been shaped by the philosophy that:
- the race and ethnic based performance disparities in the school system result from local conditions and should be addressed locally. Thus, there has been minimal efforts to secure national or state funding.
- when the need for programs such as PSEP no longer exists, the community will cease to fund the program.
Overall, since 1993, PSEP has been budgeted at ($499,650).
1997-98: Solicited funding: $127,200
1996-97: Solicited funding: $129,370
1995-96: Solicited funding: $101,980
1994-95: Solicited funding: $73,100
1993-94: Solicited funding: $68,000
Other PSEP related funding, not included above, include:
- 1994-95: College Reach Out Program, $42,500. This grant, was used to fund a special program for 7-12 grade students who are not currently members of Scholars" Club, and most of whose GPA is below 2.5.
- 1994-95: Mobile Magnet Transportation Pilot Program
: $7,500 Gannett Foundation grant obtained to pilot and evaluate educational enrichment on school buses. Grant obtained for School District of Lee County.
- 1987-88: Development of a Consortium of Business and Higher Education, $78,000, PEPSI Foundation.

Henry John Duffus, BApSc, Ba,DPhil, DPhil, N.D.C.,
I was born in Vancouver, B.C., Canada in 1927. My father owned and ran the Duffus Business College. Having fought the encroaching government involvement in that business for decades, my father did not encourage me to continue it, although I went through all its courses at an early age, and even taught a little.
After winning a provincial scholarship to the University of British Columbia I embarked on the engineering program during the final years of World War II. At first I headed towards aeronautical engineering, but I found large numbers of aeronautical engineers unemployed in Los Angeles. Therefore, l changed to Physics on the recommendation of my professor who correctly advised me that one would never make any money at it, but physics was fun.
Several of us decided to ask the university to start an Engineering Physics program. We had no trouble in getting the faculty to do so...and without the strikes and sit-ins which later characterized student/faculty negotiations with the same faculty as in our day. So we formed the first class to graduate in Engineering Physics in 1948.
Engineering aside, I spent a great deal of time in amateur dramatics, becoming president of the Players' Club and playing very minor roles on stage with a surprising number of people who later became professional actors. During the summer of 1948 I worked at the Suffield Experimental Station in Alberta for the Defence Research Board on field trials with nerve gas countermeasures. I learned the valuable lesson that nobody was looking after me anymore when, after a nerve gas bomb drop, I found my gas mask leaked. After a memorably bumpy small aircraft ride across the prairies following a much too boozy bachelor party, I reached Victoria and shortly afterwards married my wife of forty eight years, Maureen Stuart Yates. Many particulars of her family's long association with Victoria are to be found in her historical novel "A Most Unusual Colony" ISBN 1895332-1 1-7.
We honeymooned in Quebec City and took up my first teaching job at the fledgling Carleton College in Ottawa. At that time it was a rather hand-to-mouth establishment. Each summer the staff waited for the announcement of the Provincial Government's financial grant to learn if they still had jobs. Some of them didn't. Now it is the well known and well established Carleton University.
During the summers I attended the Graduate School of Physics at Columbia University in New York. One summer I worked at the National Research Council Laboratory in Ottawa perfecting a method to make artificial sapphire and ruby. During the winter I also took extension graduate courses from McGill University, Montreal, in Electrical Engineering. Maureen had continued her career as a journalist by getting a job with the Ottawa Citizen newspaper. However, she had inherited some money in England which could not be taken out of the country. When the Dean of Arts at Carleton got me into New College, Oxford, and the National Research Council came up with a scholarship, there was little point in finishing at McGill or Columbia. I quit my job at Carleton, and we took the Empress of Scotland across the rather rough Atlantic, spending the next three years in Oxford...a very happy choice.
At the Clarendon Laboratory I worked on solid state microwave spectroscopy using the recent wartime advances in radar equipment and the special low temperatures and large magnetic fields available at that laboratory. We did not know it at the time, but this area of research led soon afterwards to the invention of masers and lasers.
After graduating with a degree of D.Phil. I looked for a job in Canada. The Defence Research Board was growing at that time, and offered a job at Suffield. However I held out for a job at the new Pacific Naval Laboratory in Victoria...then a collection of army huts. For the next five years I was engaged in submarine detection methods. As submarines had become capable of standing off the coast and firing nuclear missiles, our job was to develop long range acoustic tracking capability and short range magnetic detection methods to identify the target precisely for attack by ship or aircraft. The magnetic detection problems led us to a fascinating area of study of the ionosphere, the auroral regions, and the emissions from the sun. Sputnik and other satellites had just gone up, and the electromagnetic properties of space around the earth were of great interest. Our secret acoustic detection equipment provided an advantage in electronics which made our research results of world class interest.
After five years at the Pacific Naval Laboratory I was offered the job of Professor of Physics and Head of the Department at Royal Roads Military College. I enjoyed the return to teaching and the challenge of finding synergies between the Defense Research Board interests and those of the Army, Navy and Airforce who were our supporters. Thus a good deal of surplus Defence Research Board scientific equipment found its way into Royal Roads teaching and research laboratories. We were not constrained by aircraft or ship costs to do experiments quickly, nor to use the absolutely newest state of the art equipment.
Maureen continued her career in journalism at both Victoria daily newspapers, rising to Editor of the Women's Section. Later she produced the public relations newsletters for the Institute of Ocean Sciences, at Pat Bay, north of Victoria.
In 1966 I spent a sabbatical year at Oxford and at ['Institute de Geophysique at the Universite de Paris, mostly at their Laboratoire Geodynamique Soumarin in Villefranche sur Mer. As the Russians had just offered them support for underwater geomagnetic research and hence the Americans had pulled out, this was not a very good time to get much work done.
In 1976 I was sent to the National Defence College, Kingston, for their year long orientation program about world politics and economics. This involved many months of travel, lectures and briefings in the company of about forty upwardly mobile military officers, senior civil servants, university professors and business people. It was a remarkable experience.
During my years as Dean of Science and Engineering, including a few as Acting Principal, Royal Roads Military College grew from a three year undergraduate feeder college to a college with bachelors degrees in science and arts and masters degrees in science. We pioneered many advanced courses in underwater acoustics and oceanography based upon the existing and foreseen requirements of the armed forces. I retired in 1989. In 1995 the government closed both Royal Roads Military College and the National Defence College as an economy measure. No comment.
Since retirement I have started the Victoria branch of the Tetra Society. Their volunteers invent, design, or adapt aids for handicapped people which are not available commercially.

Career posts in more detail
A Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Head of Bristol University Clinical Veterinary School
1990 - present
Budget holder and "Chief Executive " of one of Europe's leading Clinical Veterinary Schools. Soon after taking up this post in 1990 I embarked on a radical reorganisation of the Clinical Veterinary School which up to that moment was a collection of disparate and relatively small departments. The Clinical School at Bristol now consists of nearly 200 staff (academic and support), together with over 50 post graduate students studying for a Ph.D (many from overseas) and between 70-80 Veterinary undergraduates in every year of a 5 year course. The reorganisation resulted in a single Department of Clinical Veterinary Science with four academic divisions:
Animal Health and Husbandry
Companion Animals
Food Animal Science
Molecular and Cellular Biology
The Veterinary School is assessed by the public, the academic community and our paymasters (HEFC) on the basis of three "outputs". These outputs are: teaching, research and clinical work. Within the new structure formed at Bristol Veterinary School these three "outputs" formed the basis of three major matrix committees that have both financial and organisational matters delegated to them:
Teaching Committee
Research Committee
Hospital Committee
The reorganisation at Bristol Veterinary School also involved a major building expansion including:
New Small Animal Hospital (one of the largest in the UK)
New Equine Diagnostic Centre (serving the south west, Wales and central England).
New lecture theatres
Extensive computerisation and networking of site.
I have been responsible for heading-up all these projects and developments including the initial planning, production of detailed business plans, securing funding, selection of contractors etc.
The main duties of my current post can be summarised:
a) Responsible to the Vice Chancellor of Bristol University for the annual budget of the Department, currently just over £10 million per annum
b) Co-ordinating the securement of over £3.5 million per annum for research within the Department
c) Overall responsibility for delivering an effective course to Veterinary undergraduates
d) Providing academic leadership to the Clinical Veterinary School
e) Overall responsibility for the management and career develpoment of nearly 200 academic and support staff
Current annual salary is £43,442 together with the British Universities contributory superannuation scheme (USS).
B Deputy Head of Cambridge University Veterinary School, Lecturer, Official Fellow and Senior Tutor, University of Cambridge
1980-1990My ten year period of work at Cambridge Veterinary School combined a research and teaching career as a lecturer, a College career as Official Fellow and Senior Tutor and in the last few years a management career as Deputy Head of Cambridge Veterinary School. My research group included both overseas post graduate students and experimental work on diseases found in East and Central Africa (eg East Coast Fever and Trypanosomiasis). My position as Senior Tutor gave me the major responsibility for the selection, processing and overseeing of all the post graduate students, the majority of whom were from overseas.
I left Cambridge University on appointment to a Chair at Bristol University.
C Senior Research Associate, Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge
1977-1980This was a three year full-time research post taken up after my initial return from the six years work in East Africa. The work was funded by the Wellcome Trust and Agricultural Research Council.
I left to take up a tenured position within Cambridge University.
D Immunologist at the Kenyan National Veterinary Research Laboratory
1971-1977For the first three years in Kenya I was employed by the FAO of the United Nations as team leader in immunology within a project investigating the prevalence of tick-borne diseases within Kenya. The work also involved training of both professional and support staff including training abroad for a number of Kenyan staff.
The following three years of work funded by the British Government concentrated on developing the immunology laboratory at the Veterinary Research Centre and establishing a number of diagnostic tests etc. for use in the field and laboratory.
I left this job to return to an academic career in Britain.
Teaching Responsibilities and Experience
Undergraduate
a) Lecturing
Veterinary Immunology
An applied course given to veterinary students after their basic immunology course in the Medical Science Tripos.
Epidemiology
A course given to veterinary students before they begin their species medicine courses, and intended to introduce the concepts of epidemiology and disease control.
Cattle Medicine
Lectures forming part of the combined cattle course. Subjects covered include all neonatal calf diseases, enzootic calf pneumonia, salmenellosis, respiratory disease in adults, gastro-intestinal diseases in adults and fluid therapy.
Comparative Immunology
A short course given to pre-clinical veterinary, medical and natural science students.
b) Clinical and practical teaching
Small group teaching in clinical examination, preventative medicine, the use and application of computer-based (eg Daisy) programmes and immune-mediated diseases.
c) Examining
Assessor, Examiner and Chairman of Examiners for all medical subjects in the Final Veterinary Examination at the University of Cambridge and Bristol.
Postgraduate
I have personally supervised 12 PhD students comprising individuals from both both home and overseas (including one from Kenya). I have also examined several PhD dissertations for the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Glasgow and London.
Research Interests
My research group consisted of post-doctoral workers, research assistants, Ph.D.students, laboratory technicians and animal technicians, together with a regular number of visiting scientists. Over the last ten years my research has been focused in the following main areas:
1. A study on the immune response against helminth and nematode parasites
This includes studying the eosinophil-mediated antibody-dependent destruction of parasites; the isotype and sub-isotype of antibody responsible; the influence of mediators such as ECF-A and interleukins; the characterisation and biological activity of granule contents from eosinophils and neutrophils, especially cationic proteins; and purification of surface antigens from the parasites both to provide sensitive and specific serological assays, as well as possible immunogens for vaccination.
2. A research project involving both basic and applied immunology to study the defense mechanisms of the calf respiratory tract and its importance in enzootic pneumonia of calves
This includes working on viruses such as BHV1, PI3 and RSV; producing highly sensitive ELISA tests for each virus; examining the potential of calf leucocytes to destroy virus infected targets in both antibody-dependent (ADCC) and antibody-independent (CTL and NK) assays; and producing a sensitive and reliable 3H-uridine incorporation assay for bovine interferon (IFN).
3. A study of the anti-viral and immunomodulating effects of recombinant bovine IFNa, IFNg and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)
These recombinant lymphokines and monokines are assessed in vitro for their effect on the recruitment and activation of bovine NK cells. Experiments are also done on delivery systems in vivo to induce high levels of anti-viral activity in the upper and lower respiratory system of calves following inhalation of an aerosol of IFNa. Some of this work has involved the study of individual field cases and outbreaks in an effort to bridge the gap between laboratory based research, the actual disease problem itself and the needs (diagnostic and therapeutic) of the clinicians.
4. Equine Herpes Virus (EHV1) and foal immunology
A major part of the research effort of my group was in the area of producing SPF (EHV1 free) foals and establishing a totally susceptible equine model for EHV1 infection. Various recombinant and purified glycoprotein preparations tested by various routes for their potential as candidate vaccines.
In addition, the IFN response and isotype and sub-isotype antibody response in serum and nasal mucous in response to EHV1 infection was studied. At the cellular level specific T cell transformation, NK activity and neutrophil-mediated antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) were also studied. All these parameters are included in a battery of assays in an additional study on the development of immune competence in the neonatal foal.
5. Monoclonal antibodies
A panel of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) have been made against canine lymphocytes and a retrovirus-infected canine lymphoid cell line. In addition the canine NK cell assay has been established using the latter target, and was studied in a series of clinical tumour cases.
A panel of Mabs has also been recently made against canine IgG sub-isotypes. In addition another panel of Mabs has been produced against equine lymphocytes and equine immunoglobulins.
6. Use of Bovine Hyperimmune Colostrum for Treatment and Prevention of Disease
Techniques have been evolved to hyperimmunize cattle against selected pathogens from both domestic animal and human diseases. Assays have been developed to quantify the specific immunoglobulin content of the colostral preparations as well as assessing the anti-pathogen activity of the samples in patients (eg in AIDS patients suffering from cryptosporidial infection).
7. AFRC link programme with the Institute of Animal Physiology, Babraham
This link programme studied the role and fate of the large population of null T lymphocytes in the young pig. This work was firstly on their potential differentiation pathways using a combination of Mabs and cDNA probes; secondly on their functional role in assays such as NK cell killing; thirdly on their origins, phenotypic changes and migration in vivo.
8. Innovative Vaccines
A molecular biological approach to developing an innovative approach to vaccination of cattle involving a recombinant herpes viral vector with insertion sites for both bovine cytokine genes as well as individual pathogen genes.
