Medical research involves research in a wide range of fields, such as biology, chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology with the goal of developing new medicines or medical procedures or improving the application of those already available. It can be viewed as encompassing preclinical research(for example, in cellular systems and animal models) and clinical research(for example, clinical trials). 2, record 1, English, - medical%20research

A water-in oil emulsion that contains killed mycobacteria, administered along with an antigen to enhance immunogenicity of the antigen. The mechanism of action is not clear, but it appears to potentiate macrophages activity and may slow the disappearance of soluble antigen from immunologically active tissue sites. 2, record 2, English, - complete%20Freund%27s%20adjuvant

An emulsified preparation of heat-killed tubercle bacilli in mineral oil.

Alternative methods. In order to reduce the need of laboratory animals the CFN has, in co-operation with the Swedish pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca and Pharmacia, supported research on alternatives to animal models ever since 1980. It has supported projects in areas such as toxicology, pharmacology and cell biology. Basically, two different kinds of projects have been considered for financial support, i. e. projects which may be expected to result in a change from a method involving animals to an alternative method in a short time and projects relating to fundamental research that is likely to contribute to the development of new non-animal methods in the longer term. 2, record 3, English, - alternative%20method
