The method for screening the remedy for the atopic dermatitis comprises applying the remedy to the atopic dermatitis model animal. Organs, tissues, cells or cell strains are isolated from the atopic dermatitis model animal. A method for producing the atopic dermatitis model animal comprises transferring the T cells, the B cells or their cell strains derived from the atopic dermatitis model animal to another animal of the same species or a similar species. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
