Oxazolone-Induced Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Model

Creative Bioarray provides a stable atopic dermatitis (AD) model induced by oxazolone for novel drug discovery and development. Our scientific team has extensive experience helping our clients with the selection of appropriate models and assays, as well as obtaining reliable and accurate results to accelerate the development process of your drugs.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that recurs frequently, resulting from intricate interactions among genetic predisposition, environmental factors, immune dysregulation, and skin barrier dysfunction. Given its complexity, researchers have sought to replicate its symptoms in animal models to gain a deeper understanding of the disease. One such well-established model is the mouse model with oxazolone-induced AD-like skin manifestations. This model is induced through repeated epicutaneous administrations of oxazolone, a powerful hapten capable of eliciting a chronic Th2 hypersensitivity response that closely mimics the initial features observed in human AD. Through this model, we can investigate the pathogenesis of AD and potentially develop more effective therapeutic strategies.

Our Oxazolone-Induced Atopic Dermatitis (AD) Model

  • Available Animal
    Mouse
  • Modeling Method
    Step 1: In the sensitization phase, mice are sensitized with oxazolone or vehicle applied to the shaved dorsal skin and ear.
    Step 2: In the challenge phase, mice are repeatedly challenged with oxazolone or vehicle applied to the shaved dorsal skin and ear.
  • Endpoints
    • Body weight
    • Ear thickness
    • Serum analysis: total IgE, TNF-α, etc.
    • H&E staining
    • Other customized endpoints: available upon request

Example Data

Histological examination confirmed that epidermal and dermal thickness were increased with dermal inflammatory cell infiltration in the AD+1649b group compared to the AD group (H&E, Scale bar=100 μm).Fig. 2 Histological examination confirmed that epidermal and dermal thickness were increased with dermal inflammatory cell infiltration in the AD+1649b group compared to the AD group (H&E, Scale bar=100 μm).
