The guinea pig has been the animal of choice for predictive sensitisation tests for several decades. Two types of tests have been developed : adjuvant tests in which sensitisation is potentiated by the injection of Freund's complete adjuvant(FCA), and non-adjuvant tests.... In this updated version, the guinea pig maximisation test(GPMT) of Magnusson and Kligman which uses adjuvant... and the non-adjuvant Buehler Test... are given preference over other methods. 1, record 1, English, - guinea%20pig%20maximisation%20test

Depuis plusieurs décennies, le cobaye représente l'animal de prédilection pour les essais visant à prévoir la sensibilisation. Deux types d'essai ont été élaborés : les essais avec adjuvant, dans lesquels la sensibilisation est potentialisée par l'injection de l'Adjuvant Complet de Freund (ACF), et les essais sans adjuvant. [...] Dans cette version mise à jour, parmi les méthodes, on donne la préférence au test de maximisation chez le cobaye (GPMT) de Magnusson et Kligman, qui utilise un adjuvant [...] et au test de Buehler, qui n'utilise pas d'adjuvant [...] 1, record 1, French, - test%20de%20maximisation%20chez%20le%20cobaye

Social enterprises seek to serve the community's interest(social, societal, environmental objectives) rather than profit maximisation. They often have an innovative nature, through the goods or services they offer, and through the organisation or production methods they resort to. They often employ society's most fragile members(socially excluded persons). They thus contribute to social cohesion, employment and the reduction of inequalities. 2, record 2, English, - social%20business
