Description
Researchers at the Creative Biolabs have developed Woodchuck PBMCs that allows for study in numerous research areas, such as immunology, oncology. The cells can be used for a wide variety of safety assessment and functional assays.
Species character
Woodchucks used for research purposes are mostly caught out in the wild and outbred. Some are already infected with woodchuck herpes virus (WHV), while are others are not. However, some commercial laboratories have established in-house woodchuck colonies.
WHV is an ideal model to study the pathogenesis and therapy of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV), which makes woodchuck the most commonly used animal model for the study of these viruses. Research on HBV using the WHV model focuses on disease and viral pathogenesis, in addition to prevention and treatment of HBV infection.
