Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Models
Perform in vivo efficacy studies using one of InnoSer’s Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Models
As a European preclinical neurology contract research organization (CRO), InnoSer provides you with a portfolio of Parkinson’s disease mouse models that are relevant for performing preclinical efficacy research studies. By choosing InnoSer as your partner CRO, you will work alongside our expert study directors who take a collaborative approach for your study, accommodating your study timelines and budget needs. InnoSer’s neurology expert team possesses relevant experience in working with multiple therapy types ranging from small molecules, peptides, enzymes, oligonucleotides, gene therapy (viral vectors – e.g.. AAVs) and immunotherapies (antibody/vaccine immunotherapies).
InnoSer offers multiple Parkinson’s disease mouse models for preclinical research, including MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease, and transgenic alpha-synuclein or seeding alpha synuclein mouse models using recombinant and/or patient-derived seeds. However, as each model is unique, modelling distinct pathophysiological aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, we recommend you discuss the most appropriate model with our neurology study directors.

Parkinson’s Disease
Brain pathology: alpha-synuclein and substantia nigra degeneration
Key events contributing to the neurodegeneration and clinical symptoms in PD are believed to involve lysosomal dysfunction, the spreading of α-syn aggregates, and neuroinflammation. Various mouse models of PD have been developed to replicate these disease mechanisms effectively.
Tyrosine hydroxylase staining can be used to assess dopaminergic cell loss after localized lesions in the substantia nigra.
Risk factors: SNCA, LRRK2, GBA
Mouse models that replicate these genetic risk factors offer valuable insights into PD and serve as attractive models for studying the disease. These models present an opportunity to test potential treatments for Parkinson’s disease and advance our understanding of its underlying mechanisms.

AAALAC Accreditation
InnoSer has earned the AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to responsible animal care and use. AAALAC International is a nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Our accreditation is valid for three years, incl. 2023. Read more about the AAALAC accreditation programme here.
Animal Welfare
The 3Rs impact everything from policy and regulatory change to the development and uptake of new technologies and approaches. This is why Innoser has ongoing commitment and monitoring of these processes. The steps we practice maximize our ability to replace, reduce and refine animal involvement and facilitate our commitment to these principles when it comes to research and drug development.
