Intratracheal Instillation of Diesel Exhaust Particles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The DEP were acquired from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (located in Gaithersburg, MD, USA) and were subsequently suspended in sterile saline (0.9%) containing 0.01% Tween 80. Before dilution and intratracheal (i.t.) administration of the DEP, the suspensions were subjected to continuous sonication (using a Clifton Ultrasonic Bath, Clifton, NJ, USA) for a duration of 15 min, followed by vortexing. Control mice received i.t. instillation of saline containing 0.01% Tween 80. A prior examination using transmission electron microscopy of the DEP utilized in this research unveiled the presence of various small aggregates of carbonaceous particles of less than 0.1 μm, as well as larger aggregates with diameters less than 1 μm.
10 (link) The chemical examination of these DEP revealed the existence of elemental carbon, organic carbon, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, inorganic ions, as well as various metals and trace elements through chemical analysis.
11 (link) Carnosol was procured from Sigma Chemical, located in St. Louis, MO, USA.

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.
