Generation of NOD.E2-2fl/fl-CD11c.cre Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57BL/6 (B6) and NOD mice were purchased from Taconic (Ejby, Denmark). B6.E2-2fl/fl-CD11c.cre [23 (link)] were backcrossed to NOD genetic background for >10 generations to generate NOD.E2-2fl/fl-CD11c.cre. SNP-based scans were used to ensure that all chromosomes, except chromosome 18 carrying the E2-2 locus were of NOD origin. By in depth SNP analysis of chromosome 18 we have limited the region flanking the E2-2 locus to <19 cM corresponding to <24 Mb (S1 Table). All animals were bred and maintained in a specific pathogen-free environment at the animal facilities at Umeå University or Lund University and all strains were maintained by continuous inbreeding. Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Only female mice were used for experiments.

C57BL/6 (H-2b) and BALB/c (H-2d) were purchased from the University of Texas Southwestern Mouse Breeding Facility. For grafting experiments, 8- to 10-week-old female BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B6) mice were purchased from Taconic Farms (Germantown, NY, USA). BALB/c D011.10 mice bearing the transgene for the T cell receptor for ovalbumin (OVA) and substance P (SP) knockout (KO) mice on a C57BL/6 background were purchased from The Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). The animal studies were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Animals were housed and cared for in accordance with the ARVO Statement for the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
