Carrageenan-induced paw oedema in Sprague-Dawley rats (non-HAE acute inflammation model)
“No HAE-disease animal model has been established. Therefore, a carrageenan-induced paw edema study in Sprague-Dawley rats (a non-HAE disease model of acute inflammation) was used to evaluate the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of sebetralstat.”
