Inflammation

WBI offers a wide variety of economical, in vivo models to assess efficacy of anti-inflammatory test compounds. Our experienced technical personnel provide quality studies and experienced observations for your full information.

Your study receives our careful attention –

  • A WBI Project Manager assigned to every project
  • A complete, detailed Protocol and Schedule is prepared for your acceptance before work begins
  • During your study you will receive timely updates by e-mail on results, observations and schedule status
  • Your completed Project is fully described in a Final Report including statistical/graphical analysis of results

In Vivo Inflammation and Inflammatory Disease Models

  • Carrageenan Paw Edema (CPE) - rapid one-day initial screen for anti-inflammatory activity; an inexpensive and reliable model.
  • Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis (AIA) - 1-month detailed study of anti-inflammatory activity
  • Collagen-Induced Arthritis (CIA) * - 6-week detailed study using an autoimmune mechanism to mimic human arthritis; rat and mouse models.
  • Antigen-Induced Arthritis (AIA) - measures acute and chronic responses in rabbit; large volumes for tissues and joints.
  • Mouse Ear Edema – Topical - an excellent measure of topical anti-inflammatory activity
  • Ova-Induced-Asthma  - a rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Asthma.
  • Mouse LPS Model - cytokine analysis of LPS-stimulated inflammation
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) - Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Rodents
  • Air Pouch Model (APM) - cell response analysis in rat or mouse. In addition, MSU Air Pouch Model for Human Gout in rat or mouse.
  • Streptococcal Cell Wall (SCW) PG-PS 10S Rat Model - a valuable model for assessment of the efficacy of therapeutic and prophylactic compounds on the acute and chronic inflammatory responses, especially for arthritis studies.
  • EAE/Peptide Mouse Models for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - acute and remitting -PLP139-151 peptide-induced EAE Model in SJL Mice and chronic, progressive - MOG35-55 peptide-induced EAE Model in C57BL/6 Mice.

Acute In Vitro Assays and Additional Services

Whole Blood Assay (WBA) - In Vitro assay measuring cytokine production/inhibition within inflamed whole human blood – modeling the environment for actual drug activity

You can choose from additional WBI services to extend analysis of inflammatory effects as may be beneficial for your requirements: Blood samples, clinical chemistries, cell counts and differentials, necropsy, organ removals and preservation, histologies.
