The present invention relates to a method of producing a non-human animal model of hypertrophic scarring. This involves producing an incision in a non-human animal and applying mechanical strain over the incision under conditions effective to produce hypertrophic scarring, thereby producing a non-human animal model of hypertrophic scarring. The present invention also relates to a method of determining the efficacy of an agent for prevention or treatment of a disease condition. This method involves providing a non-human animal having an incision over which mechanical strain is applied under conditions effective to produce hypertrophic scarring, administering an agent to the incision, and determining whether the agent is efficacious for prevention or treatment of a disease condition. Also provided is a non-human animal model of hypertrophic scarring. This involves a non-human animal having an incision over which mechanical strain has been applied under conditions effective to produce hypertrophic scarring.
本发明涉及一种制作非人类动物增生性瘢痕模型的方法。这包括在非人类动物身上制作切口,并在有效产生增生性瘢痕的条件下对切口施加机械应变,从而制作出增生性瘢痕的非人类动物模型。本发明还涉及一种确定预防或治疗疾病药剂疗效的方法。该方法包括提供一种非人类动物,该动物有一个切口,在有效产生增生性瘢痕的条件下,在该切口上施加机械应变,在该切口上施用一种药剂,并确定该药剂是否具有预防或治疗疾病的功效。此外,还提供了一种增生性瘢痕的非人类动物模型。这涉及到非人类动物的切口,在有效产生增生性瘢痕的条件下,在切口上施加机械应变。
