Glomerulonephritis Models

Inquiry

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is an autoimmune disease that induces inflammation within the glomerulus and other compartments of the kidney. The clinical features encompass the formation of proteinuria and haematuria as well as low calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Autoimmunity, cancer and structural abnormalities within kidney are involved in the pathogenesis of GN. However, the pathological mechanism of GN is still unclear. In addition, GN has been known as a common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide. It is associated with severe morbidity and thus represents a major socioeconomic health problem. Therefore, it is necessary for scientific research to look into an effective therapy for this significant clinical disease. Creative Bioarray specializes in providing customized pharmacodynamic research services to help customers assess the efficacy of drug candidates against glomerulonephritis and study the associated pathological mechanisms through glomerulonephritis models.

Creative Bioarray provides you with Glomerulonephritis models including but not limited to:

Acute Puromycin Aminonucleoside (PAN) Model
Anti-Thy1 Induced Nephritis Model
Cationic BSA Induced Immune Complex Glomerulonephritis Model
Haymann Nephritis Model

Our Capabilities

We utilize Glomerulonephritis models to perform PK/PD experiments on drug candidates.
We assess the severity of GN through glomerular damage score system.
We evaluated the deposition of lg and C3 complement via IHC.
We evaluate various cytokines through IHC, ELISA, etc.

Assays available

PK/PD blood collections
Detection of Blood creatinine
BUN
Proteinuria
Histopathological evaluation

With extensive experience in the field of GN, we are confident to help you to overcome any upcoming challenges. Our experts are fully capable of customizing our protocols and assays to meet your specific needs. With our help, we wish to facilitate your research with high efficiency.
