As global incidences of respiratory disorders increase, the drive to develop and make available innovative therapeutic options is also increasing. To achieve this aim, and provide our clients with relevant, robust in vivo efficacy models, Axis Bio has validated the models shown in the table below. We offer intranasal and intratracheal routes of administration (or use of a nebuliser).

The type of analysis performed varies from model to model, but we can offer the following:

  • Histology
  • ELISA for proinflammatory cytokines
  • BALF analysis
  • Respiratory Rate

  • Expiration Time
  • Respiratory Flow


Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
