TPA-topical
Model: Phorbol ester induced ear edema model in ICR or Balb/c mice
Animal: ICR mice
Inducer: TPA
Study duration: Acute model: one day; chronic model: 10 days (in life)
Pathological features:
-
Ear edema is the primary response
-
Acute model: Non-T cell mediated response, involves TNFa, COX and LOX
pathway
-
Chronic model: More inflammatory cells involved; epidermal hyperplasia
Suitability:
-
Acute model: Drug screening
-
Chronic model: More relavant (test compounds are applied after the
inflammatory lesion is established)
More selective
Parameter measures:
-
Ear thickness (edema)
-
Histo-pathology assessment
-
Ear weight
-
IHC
-
cytokine (ELISA or RT-qPCR, optional)
