Animal models of inflammation are used to assess the production of inflammatory mediators at sites of inflammation, the anti-inflammatory properties of agents such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and the efficacy of putative analgesic compounds in reversing cutaneous hypersensitivity. This unit details methods to elicit and measure carrageenan- and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced cutaneous inflammation. Due to possible differences between the dorsal root sensory system and the trigeminal sensory system, injections of either the footpad or vibrissal pad are described. In this manner, cutaneous inflammation can be assessed in tissue innervated by the lumbar dorsal root ganglion neurons (footpad) and by the trigeminal ganglion neurons (vibrissal pad).
炎症动物模型用于评估炎症部位炎症介质的产生、非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)等药物的抗炎特性,以及假定的镇痛化合物逆转皮肤超敏反应的功效。本单元详细介绍了引发和测量角叉菜胶和完全弗氏佐剂(CFA)诱导的皮肤炎症的方法。由于背根感觉系统和三叉神经感觉系统之间可能存在差异,因此描述了足垫或触须垫注射方法。通过这种方式,可以在由腰背根神经节神经元(足垫)和三叉神经节神经元(触须垫)支配的组织中评估皮肤炎症。
