Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-Induced Inflammatory Pain Model
As a trusted research partner in the field of preclinical drug development, Creative Bioarray prides itself in offering an extensive array of innovative inflammatory pain models. These models serve as a robust platform for establishing the proof-of-concept, facilitating the potential assessment, and advancing the development of effective treatment strategies for a diverse range of pain-related medical conditions. By leveraging our expertise in inflammatory pain research, we aim to contribute significantly to the advancement of pain management and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from various pain disorders.
CFA is composed of mineral oil containing a suspension of whole or pulverized heat-killed mycobacteria. Its adjuvant activity is attributed to the sustained release of antigens from the oily depot and the stimulation of a local innate immune response, resulting in a delayed hypersensitivity reaction at the injection site, characterized by intense inflammation and hyperalgesia. The CFA-induced inflammatory pain model has been well characterized in Creative Bioarray and is routinely used for screening novel compounds targeted for inflammatory pain.
