Epilepsy Animal Disease Model Product Service Introduction

I. Model Classification and Core Services

We provide a variety of internationally recognized epilepsy animal model construction services, covering three categories: chemical induction, physical stimulation, and genetic engineering, to facilitate basic research and drug development.

II. Core Products and Services

1. Chemical drug-induced model

Model Name

Induction method

Applicable animals

Type of attack

Application Areas

Model Features

PTZ Model

Intraperitoneal/subcutaneous injection of PTZ

Rats and mice

Acute/chronic myoclonus, spasticity

Drug screening, attack mechanism research

Easy to operate, suitable for initial screening of anti-epileptic drugs; can simulate absence seizures

GHB/GBL Model

Systemic injection of gamma-hydroxybutyrate or its precursors

Rat

Absence seizures (SWDs EEG)

Mechanism of absence epilepsy and evaluation of drug efficacy

Highly specific absence model; requires EEG monitoring

KA Model

Intraventricular or systemic injection of KA

Rats and mice

Focal→generalized seizures

The pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy and the development of more effective targeted therapeutic drugs

The operation is simple and permanent; the latency period and EEG characteristics are highly similar to those of human temporal lobe epilepsy.

2. Physical stimulation model

Model Name

Induction method

Applicable animals

Type of attack

Application Areas

Model Features

Electric ignition model

Repetitive electrical stimulation of the hippocampus/amygdala

Rat

Focal→generalized seizures

Drug-resistant epilepsy and neuroplasticity research

Simulate the progression of epilepsy; requires surgical implantation of electrodes, which takes a long time

6Hz corneal stimulation model

6Hz current stimulation of the cornea

Rat

Psychomotor epilepsy

Drug resistance screening

Non-invasive, high success rate; simulates complex partial seizures

MES Model

Maximum electric shock stimulation

Mice, rat

Generalized tonic-clonic seizure

Gold standard screening for anticonvulsant drugs

Rapid and standardized; biased towards ion channel drug testing

3. Genetic Engineering Model

Gene Targets

Mutation type

Applicable animals

Phenotypic characteristics

Application Areas

Model advantages

SCN1A knockout

Gene knockout

 Mice

Dravet syndrome, spontaneous seizures

Genetic epilepsy mechanisms and gene therapy

Highly simulates human Dravet syndrome; suitable for studying sodium channel-related pathologies

CHRNA4 knock-in

Point mutation knock-in

 Mice

Nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy

Neural receptor targeted drug development

Accurate simulation of autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE)

KCNQ2 mutations

Conditional dominant negative

Transgenic mice

Benign familial neonatal epilepsy

Study on the relationship between potassium channel function and epilepsy

Simulate BFNC, suitable for neonatal epilepsy mechanism and drug screening

LGI1 knockout

Gene knockout

 Mice

Idiopathic temporal lobe epilepsy

Autoimmune epilepsy research

Simulates genetic epilepsy with auditory features; can be used to explore immunomodulatory treatment

III. Service Advantages
