I want to set up an in-vivo model for anti inflammatory test of our collected pigment . Does any one know the proper model for inflammation test besides rat carrageenan paw edema assay.
You may conduct xylene ear swelling assay to check the inflammation state with or without the induction of pigment
Outside the two mentioned above, you can also use:
1. Croton oil-induced ear oedema assay
2. Egg-albumin rat paw oedema assay
See attachment:
Our company develops 3D cell barrier culture systems for in vitro study of virtually any cell barrier, and the system comes equipped with both a Fluid Perfusion Unit and a Trans-Endothelial/Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) Measurement Unit! The use of a vessel-shaped 3D environment has been proven more effective than 2D systems like Transwell (
Article Santaguida S, Janigro D, Hossain M, Oby E, Rapp E, Cucullo L...
), and our advanced TEER Measurement Unit allows for frequency sweeps between 0.1-1,000 Hz, automated time point sampling, logging of data to Excel, and additional measurement of phase angle for cell capacitance calculations! For those that are committed to Transwell use, we also have a TEER Measurement Unit that is compatible with nearly all Transwell products (Endohm cell cup chamber, STX2 "chopstick" electrodes, etc) and allows the user to greatly expand their testing capabilities with Transwell equipment. Additionally, we have smaller modular systems that connect to microscope-friendly cell culture modules: i.e., a miniaturized 3D cell culture system that you can use right under your microscope! If you or anybody on this thread is interested in learning more, I encourage you to visit www.flocel.com or email me at [email protected], thank you!
