Reference Name Animal specie Strain Thematic area Specific pathology Description
AT164 Xenograft model of Pharynx and Larynx Cancer Mice (Mus-musculus); NOD SCID gamma NOD SCID gamma Oncology Oncology & Inmuno Oncology, pharmacology
Cancer cells will be injected subcutaneously since early tumor formation
AT122 Cardiac Ischemia mouse model Mice (Mus musculus) C57BL/6J Cardiovascular diseases Cardiac Ischemia
Model generated by myocardial infarction induction
AT007 Cancer models Mice (Mus musculus) SCID/Beige NOD.SCID Oncology Oncology & Immuno-Oncology
Tumor cells or tumor fragments implanted subcutaneously
AT006 Caloric Restriction Mice (Mus musculus) C567BL/6 Endocrinology Disorders of body’s energy balance; Obesity; Type 2 diabetes
In this model, mice are subjected to a 40% caloric restriction compared to their ad libitum fed littermates. 60% of the food eaten by ad libitum fed littermates is provided to individually-caged calorie restricted mice.
AT005 Bone Defects in metaphysis (cylindrical) Sheep (Ovis Linnaeus) Ripollesa Orthopedic Bone regeneration
The defects will be located in the medial and lateral distal metaphysis of the femur and in the medial and lateral proximal metaphysis of the tibia at the level of the physis mark.
AT121 APP23 model Alzheimer Cerebral Beta-amyloidosis
Mice (Mus musculus) C57BL/6 APP23 Neurovascular diseases Alzheimer and Sporadic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
This model characterizes Alzheimer's disease (AD) in which parenchymal Aβ deposits are observed and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) characterized by the presence of beta-amyloid deposits in cerebral vessels and found in 80% of patients. Alzheimer's patients. Characterized by the overexpression of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) gene containing the APP K670N/M671L double mutation (hAPP751 – Sweedish double-mutation) under the control of the Thy1 neuronal promoter (Sturchler-Pierrat, C. et al., 1997).
AT002 Aneurysm model Pig (Sus scrofa) Cardiovascular diseases Aneurysm
Endovascular treatment of carotid aneurysms
AT120 Air Pollution rat model Rat (Rattus norvegicus) Sprague Dawley® Cardiovascular diseases Air pollution
Model generated by the administration of a mox of different air pollutants (diesel exhaust particules)
AT119 Acute Kidney Injury and regeneration model Pig (Sus scrofa) Large White and Landrace cross Nephrology Renal ischemia
Model generated by laparoscopic nephrectomy
AT001 Acute Cold exposure Mice (Mus musculus) All Endocrinology Disorders of body’s energy balance; Obesity; Type 2 diabetes
In this model, mice are first aclimmated to thermoneutrality for 10-15 days and then acutely exposed to 4ºC for 5 h. Body core temperature is determined with a temperature rectal probe. Also, brown adipose tissue temperature is determined with by thermography using an infrared camera.
