Although studies of the laboratory mouse model have laid the groundwork for our rich understanding of immunobiology, they have fallen short in deciphering human disease and providing much needed therapeutic modalities. Indeed, bench-to-bedside approaches have not been a particularly effective means of developing translational research.(1) Recently, a symposium was held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) entitled "Meeting the Human Immunology Challenge," highlighting the opportunities for the new Intramural NIH Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammation (http://www.

SCH351591, a novel phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor under investigation as a potential therapeutic for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), was evaluated in a 3-month rising-dose study in Cynomolgus monkeys. Four groups, containing four monkeys/sex, received vehicle control or rising doses up to 12, 24, or 48 mg/kg of SCH351591 daily. Although initial exposure produced clinical signs of emesis, reduced food intake, and reduced body weight, tachyphylaxis to the emesis allowed dose escalation up to 48 mg/kg/day.

Antagonizing the effect of interleukin (IL)-5 is a potential new treatment strategy in allergic disorders. We evaluated the safety, biological activity, and pharmacokinetics of SCH55700, a humanized anti-human IL-5 antibody, in subjects with severe persistent asthma treated with oral or high doses of inhaled steroids. In a double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial, a rising single dose of SCH55700 (0.
