Animal Models of Human Inflammatory Skin Diseases

Providing peer-reviewed chapters covering spontaneous and experimental animal models of inflammatory skin diseases, this book is a reference for investigators in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. The author covers general methods of experimental modeling and describes methods of generating experimental animal models. He includes a detailed method of disease induction for each model, presents chapters on comparative histology and immunology, and disseminates information on the potential targets of disease intervention. The book is a guide for choosing the animal models to test on the in vivo level the data that they had derived at the in vitro levels in the laboratory.
