Animal models of food allergy (ImpARAS)
Call open from March 1st- May 1st, 2018
ESRs will be trained on animal models of food allergy
■ Approaches to experimental animal models of food allergy
■ An overview of all the parameters that need to be considered when designing an animal study with a special focus on novel food
■ Rules of authorization for projects and personnel, 3Rs & recommendations for procedures
■ An example on how we design an animal model for test of a set of “novel” proteins /allergens
■ Approach to sensitization of animals to food allergens including gastrointestinal, respiratory and skin routes
■ Approaches to handling tissues for ex vivo assessment
■ Overview of key cells implicated in food allergy; Characterizing DC, T and B cell in food allergy; Microbiome, innate cell evaluation
■ Protein allergen purification and characterization
■ Approaches to sensitization in animal models of food allergy
■ Collection and preparation of tissues, organs and cells for the assessment of food allergy
■ Functional exploration of measurement of transit time of food proteins, in vivo permeability, ear swelling, behavior, and temperature drop after challenge
■ A complete dissection of a rat for food allergy research
■ Complete dissection of mice with harvesting of organs
■ Karine Adel-Patient (INRA (National Institute for Agronomic Research))
