Skin Grafts-Induced Alopecia Areata (AA) Model

Alopecia areata (AA) is a condition characterized by hair loss from some or all areas of the body. While psychological stress and illness may trigger AA in predisposed individuals, the precise cause often remains unidentified. This lack of understanding hampers the development of effective clinical therapies and preventive measures. To investigate the pathobiology of AA and assess potential treatments, a reliable animal model is essential.

Creative Bioarray is proud to offer our Skin Grafts-Induced Alopecia Areata (AA) Model, ideal for evaluating the efficacy of your test compounds. Our approach utilizes aging C3H/HeJ mice, which spontaneously exhibit AA-like hair loss. By grafting skin from AA-affected C3H/HeJ mice onto healthy C3H/HeJ mice, we successfully induce hair loss through lymphocyte-mediated inflammation. This reproducible model serves as a powerful tool for studying both the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of alopecia areata.
