Some types of animal models which are used for studying the disease mechanisms and evaluating new therapeutic candidates. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a representative long-term autoimmune disease that primarily affects joints. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model and several genetically engineered animals have been widely used for the study of RA. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is also a prolonged inflammation of the digestive tract and consists of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. In this session, I will introduce how makes these animal models and evaluates the disease severity.
