Comment to the Committee

The protocol needs revisions:

1- It states that the protocol has not been reviewed, despite the existence of Form 90.

2- When asked about the time period covered by the research, it states 6 without specifying months or years.

3- Funding is not specified (it states "self-funding").

4- In the experimental procedure, it states that the antigen was obtained from a doctor in Spain (Q38-95 - from Professor José de la Fuente's lab (labSaBio), La Monroe University). Is this a purchase or a collaborative effort?

5- The number of rabbits in the protocol

varies from place to place (sometimes 4 rabbits, sometimes 12 rabbits). Also, sometimes it states only male rabbits, and sometimes both males and females.

6- The Gantt chart states the study duration as 45 days, while the protocol states one month.

7- For calculating the sample size, the reference used for this calculation is not provided.
