Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of disorders characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, of which ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the most common. It is estimated that 500 000 people in the UK currently live with IBD. There are two peaks of incidence, the first of which is between 15 and 30 years of age, with a second smaller peak between 60 and 80 years of age. Its prevalence is ever increasing, and GPs play an important role in early diagnosis, which is the key in reducing the need for aggressive treatment.

<p>Animal model of intestinal inflammation is of paramount significance that aids in discerning the pathologies underlying ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, the two clinical presentations of inflammatory bowel disease. The 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis model represents one such intestinal inflammation-prototype that is generated in susceptible strains of mice through intra-rectal instillation of compound TNBS. In this paper, we demonstrate the experimental induction of TNBS-mediated colitis in a susceptible strain of ICR mice. This can be done by the following steps: a) acclimation, b) induction and c) observation. TNBS-mouse model provides the information in shortest possible time and simultaneously represents a cost effective and highly reproducible model method of studying the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.</p><p><strong>Video Clips</strong></p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/v/6MsuIGzH3uA">Acclimation and induction of TNBS</a>:          4.5 min</p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/v/ya66SNwoVag">Observation and drug administration</a>:      1.5 min</p>
