In Vivo Models Inflammation Xenograft Studies PK / TOX Rapid-turnaround

January 29, 2008, Columbia, MD -  Washington Biotechnology, Inc. a full-service CRO for in vivo studies, announces an expanded and comprehensive menu of in vivo tests for anti-inflammatory agents. “We continue to expand our services especially relevant to drug or vaccine development for immuno-inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, asthma and diabetes", commented CEO, Sean O’Neill, Ph.D. The Company’s collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model in mice provides especially useful efficacy information and can include valuable comparison with drugs marketed for treatment of human arthritic conditions. Additional analysis is available through histology and cytokine analysis.

In 2008, the Company enters its 20th year of in vivo testing of compounds or vaccines for conditions including inflammation, cancer (xenograft models), bacterial and viral infections. Experienced personnel provide quality dosing administrations by all types of injections, oral or topical routes as well as sampling for plasma, tissues or organs. Project Management and rapid scheduling of projects is standard for all services.

 

Newly Available  Xenograft Models

 
Now available: human cell lines for xenograft studies for efficacy treatment testing of breast, colon, lymph nodes, peripheral blood, lung, skin, pancreas, prostate, ovarian and thyroid cancer.
 
MTD Determination in SW mice - FREE with any xenograft order.
 
All dosing procedures - Rapid scheduling - Economical studies - Project management

Orthotopic and Custom Xenograft Models

 

WBI now offers orthotopic xenograft models. In addition to our standard xenograft models, WBI can rapidly develop any xenograft model using your preferred cell line. At no obligation, we will provide pricing and protocol for your specific requirements.

 

Glioma Brain Cancer Model

WBI offers a subcutaneous xenograft model for athymic nude mice implanted with C6 glioma cells.

 

The efficacy of test compounds to inhibit tumor growth is measured over a 30-day period. Results are reported weekly. This is another rapid, reliable and economical WBI model for measurement of anti-proliferative efficacy.
