Experimental models – In vivo inflammation models of mice and rats (mechanism and disease models)
- Acute and chronic joint inflammation: Mouse/rat models of arthritis (kaoline, carrageenan-induced acute monoarthritis, complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced chronic polyarthritis, autoantibody-transfer and proteoglycane-induced polyarthritis, iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis).
- Acute and chronic airway inflammation: Mouse models (endotoxin-induced nonallergic and dust mite antigen-induced allergic lung inflammation, ovalbumineinduced asthma, cigarette smoke-evoked chronic bronchitis).
- Acute and chronic cutaneous inflammation: mouse/rat models (irritant-induced acute inflammation, oxazolone-evoked allergic contact dermatitis, murine psoriasis models, bleomycine-induced scleroderma-model).
- Chronic gastric and bowel inflammation: Mouse models of inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions (gastritis, autoimmune colon inflammation, Crohn-disease models).
