Zusammenfassung:An in vivo assay to evaluate topical delivery of a biologic agent from a formulation is provided. The assay comprises treating a skin area of a CD hairless rat with tape stripping to disrupt the stratum corneum in the skin area to define a treated skin area and topically applying a formulation to the treated skin area. The formulation, in one embodiment, comprises the biologic agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Delivery of the biologic agent into the skin from the topically applied formulation is evaluated via in vitro or in vivo techniques.
