Animal models of asthma and other lung diseases for drug validation and efficacy testing
Allergenix Pty Ltd is an Australian based biotechnology company specialized in the development and use of sheep models of inflammatory diseases in general and allergic asthma in particular.
Allergenix's team of experienced scientists will assist in the evaluation of your lead compounds and in the discovery of novel drug targets.
WHY SHEEP? Because of the
anatomical, developmental and electrophysiological similarities of the ovine and human lung, sheep
are particularly suitable for respiratory studies, Another major advantage of the sheep model is that multiple samples and measurements can be taken from the
blood and lung compartments in the same animal, using equipment and
techniques routinely used in human clinical medicine.
