2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-Induced Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Model

If you're looking for reliable and effective animal models to evaluate the efficacy of your compounds in treating atopic dermatitis (AD), Creative Bioarray is here to help. With years of experience in this field, we have established a variety of AD animal models that can aid you in obtaining reliable results. One such model we offer is the 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced AD model. This particular model has been widely used in research and can provide you with valuable insights into the efficacy of your compounds. Our team of experts is always available to assist you in obtaining reliable and accurate results.

AD is a chronic and persistent inflammatory skin condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is a complex disease that arises from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some of the factors that have been implicated in atopic dermatitis include IgE-mediated sensitization to environmental and food allergens, as well as abnormal reactions of the immune system against external antigens.

To study AD in mice, researchers often use DNFB as a common hapten to induce contact dermatitis. DNFB is known to recruit cytotoxic T lymphocytes to the skin, inducing keratinocyte apoptosis and disrupting the integrity of the skin. By understanding the mechanisms underlying atopic dermatitis, researchers can develop new and more effective treatments to alleviate the symptoms and improve the lives of those affected.
