Spontaneous-colitis cotton-top tamarins treated with Act-1, the murine vedolizumab precursor (2.0 mg/kg for 8 days)
“In vivo, colitic cotton-top tamarins (these develop a type of colitis spontaneously) were used to determine the functional relevance of α4β7 in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disease. Animals were given 2.0 mg/kg Act-1, the murine vedolizumab precursor, for 8 days.”
Cotton-top tamarins develop colitis spontaneously, allowing in vivo test of α4β7 in chronic intestinal inflammation
