Custom Animal Models

IBT has a well-equipped, modern facility with experienced scientists, a passionate animal care team and IACUC.

We can collaborate with you to develop rodent models that support development of your biologics and vaccines. This will enable your research to proceed smoothly.

Description: INFV H1N1 A/Puerto Rico/08/34 dose determination study in BALB/C mice when treated with 20mg/kg of oseltamivir phosphate twice daily for five days. Meta-analysis of seven independent studies (n=45).

Description: 10 mice were inoculated via intranasal instillation with 1.00E+05 PFU/mouse of A/Perth/261/2009 MH25Y (oseltamivir phosphate resistant strain). On day 4 post-infection, all animals were sacrificed, and lungs were harvested. Lungs were homogenated and final supernatants were titrated via plaque assay. The passage 1 (P1) lung supernatants were then used to infect new BALB/C mice.
