Service Description The rabbit abdominal sidewall adhesion model is a reproducible and effective model to study adhesion formation and evaluate materials to prevent adhesions. Moreover, the model is flexible, e.g., laparoscopic procedures can be employed and various...
Introduction Complicated skin and soft tissue infections are frequently encountered in clinical practice and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The neutropenic mouse thigh model of infection has been used extensively to test...
Introduction Noble Life Sciences, in partnership with IBT Bioservices, has optimized a cotton rat RSV model and successfully demonstrated its use to test the efficacy of a therapeutic agent against RSV. RSV is a major human pathogen causing mild to severe respiratory...
Introduction Noble Life Sciences, in partnership with IBT Bio s services, has optimized a cotton rat model of influenza virus infection. Although vaccines and antiviral agents are effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of the disease, each year changes in the...
Noble Life Sciences, in collaboration with ImQuest Biosciences, has optimized the peritonitis/sepsis mouse model to screen for new antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The model’s popularity derives from its ease of use with small and expensive animals, short-duration experiments with reproducible infections, and simple end-points.
The mouse and ferret animal models are the most widely used models for influenza studies. Each has its advantages. The mouse model provides a relatively low-cost system with a variety of genetic backgrounds and an arsenal of commercially available immunologic reagents...
