Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Sheep Diseases:

1.	Hydrocortisone (Cortisol)FDA LinkGeneric 03/08/1984 - "In all patients with Cushing's disease, ovine corticotropin-releasing factor, given intravenously as a bolus injection (1 microgram per kilogram of body weight), caused a further increase in the already elevated levels of ACTH and cortisol. "
2.	Glycoproteins (Glycoprotein)IBA 12/01/2013 - "As PrP(C), which is modified posttranslationally with various types of glycoproteins, serves as the substrates for PrP(Sc) conversion, various PrP(C) subtypes may play a role in the formation of PrP(Sc) and species-specific transmission; the cattle disease BSE is transmissible naturally to humans, but the sheep disease scrapie is not. "
3.	Corticotropin-Releasing HormoneIBA 03/08/1984 - "In all patients with Cushing's disease, ovine corticotropin-releasing factor, given intravenously as a bolus injection (1 microgram per kilogram of body weight), caused a further increase in the already elevated levels of ACTH and cortisol. "
4.	CollagenIBA 04/01/1991 - "Animal model for dermolytic mechanobullous disease: sheep with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa lack collagen VII."
5.	beta-Galactosidase (Lactaid)IBA 11/01/1989 - "We conclude that the ovine disease is due to a mutation at the genetic locus homologous with that of GM1 gangliosidosis and mucopolysaccharidosis type IVB, suggesting that the primary defect in the ovine disease is a mutation of the beta-galactosidase structural gene."
6.	AntibodiesIBA 01/01/1986 - "Pilot studies are reported to serum antibodies in humans to three sheep diseases; focal symmetrical encephalomalacia (FSE), maedi visna and sarcocystis. "
7.	Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)FDA Link 03/08/1984 - "In all patients with Cushing's disease, ovine corticotropin-releasing factor, given intravenously as a bolus injection (1 microgram per kilogram of body weight), caused a further increase in the already elevated levels of ACTH and cortisol. "
8.	Adenocarcinoma of lungIBA 05/01/2010 - "In addition to its veterinary importance, OPA is regarded as a potential large animal model for human lung adenocarcinoma and this has stimulated research into the pathogenesis of the ovine disease. "
9.	Haemophilus influenzae type b-polysaccharide vaccine-diphtheria toxoid conjugateIBA 01/01/2011 - "In natural or experimental oral scrapie infection of sheep, disease associated prion protein (PrP(d)) often first accumulates in Peyer's patch (PP) follicles. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Corneal Transplantation (Keratoplasty) 01/01/2009 - "Pig is used both for the prevention of foot-and-mouth disease and human diseases, sheep is a model for corneal transplantation, and the horse naturally develops arthritis. "
