Primary Benefits
Baboons (Papio spp.) offer unmatched translational value for human disease modeling and therapeutic development:
- Genetic & Immunological Fidelity: 92–94% genome-wide sequence homology with humans, including conserved drug metabolism enzymes (CYPs) and immune signaling pathways (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α).
- Complex Disease Recapitulation: Spontaneously develop metabolic disorders (diabetes, NAFLD), cardiovascular diseases, and neuropathies like Alzheimer's, mirroring human pathophysiology.
- Large Physique: Facilitates serial blood sampling, advanced imaging techniques, and surgical procedures essential for testing biologics and medical devices.
Applications in Drug Discovery & Development
Baboon models provide predictive insights across five critical domains:
- Biologics & Cell Therapies: Evaluate the immunogenicity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), CAR-T cells, and gene therapies within immune microenvironments that mimic human conditions.
- Toxicology & Safety Pharmacology: Produce data for single and repeat-dose investigations, neurotoxicity, and cardiovascular safety assessments.
- Vaccine Efficacy: Assess adjuvants and neutralizing antibody responses against pathogens, including coronaviruses and flaviviruses.
- PK/PD Profiling: Simulate human-equivalent absorption, distribution, and excretion for both small molecules and biologics.
- Disease Modeling: Validate treatments for autoimmune disorders such as RA and SLE, as well as neurodegenerative and infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B, using clinically relevant endpoints.
