Robust disease model for
Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Relapsing/Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RR-MS) is the most frequent form of Multiple Sclerosis.
Neurofit offers a disease model for MS in the rat that mimics the RR-MS in human.
Highlights:

Clear periods of remission and relapse

Relapse phase as severe as in the first attack

Robust assay to evaluate potential drug for the treatment of MS

Provides dosing flexibility for the testing of different treatment strategies (e.g., preventive or curative treatment, treatment of relapse, etc...)

Integration of the Area Under each Curve used as a measure of Disease load
(disease severity)
Dexamethasone therapy initiated at the peak of the first attack (blue bar) reduces by 80% the severity of the disease relapse

Dexamethasone therapy initiated at the first sign of second attack (
red bar) reduces by 50% the severity of the disease relapse
Other models of inflammatory diseases available:
Carrageenan-Air Pouch model in the mouse
MBP-Induced Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in the rat
Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity in the rat
Collagen-induced Arthritis in the rat

In addition, NEUROFIT offers a range of validated in vitro and in vivo screening tests for psychiatry, neurology and oncology.
