"I was under the impression that if a scientist wanted to use a specific animal for a medical experiment then provided the ethics committee agreed that it was apropriate and the budget was there he could do so without being restricted by blancket banns from central government."

I would have though you have intelligence enough to follow a thread with quoted text and a link quoting the ban on higher primates in medical research etc

If not you are sadder than I thought.

Well as I have already pointed out, the quote was directed at the ban on higher primates in the UK.

If you have problems following then I suggest you move on.

And the ban doesn't just cover vivisection and you are yet to support the claim the UK contract out work carried out on chims etc

Assumption.

And what do we see in ther UK where such research does not happen? They are using the very same Chimp research as referenced in the Canadian article! How do you think the UK researchers came up with the same process as those Canadian researchers using chimps without the benefit of chimp research?

An experimental vaccine against the chronic liver disease hepatitis C has shown promising results in its first clinical trial in humans, say researchers from the University of Oxford, UK, who write about their findings in the 4 January online issue of Science Translational Medicine. However, they caution there is still a long way to go before we have an effective vaccine ready for clinical use.

In their paper the researchers describe how they adapted two adenoviruses to carry NS (nonstructural) proteins from HCV genotype 1B. One adenovirus was sourced from a rare human serotype (Ad6, human adenovirus 6) and the other from chimpanzee (ChAd3, chimpanzee adenovirus 3).
