Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracranial xenografts were created by implanting 10,000
human-derived GSCs into the right cerebral cortex of NSG (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid
Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) mice at a
depth of 3.5 mm. All mouse experiments were performed under an animal
protocol approved by the University of California, San Diego Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee. Healthy, wild-type female mice of NSG
(NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME,
USA) background, 4–6 weeks old, were randomly selected and used in
this study for intracranial injection. Mice had not undergone prior
treatment or procedures. Mice were maintained in 14 hours light/10 hours
dark cycle by animal husbandry staff at the University of California, San
Diego, with no more than 5 mice per cage. Housing conditions and animal
status were supervised by a veterinarian. Animals were monitored until
neurological signs were observed, at which point they were sacrificed.
Neurological signs or signs of morbidity included hunched posture, gait
changes, lethargy and weigh loss. In parallel survival experiments, mice
were observed until the development of neurological signs. Healthy female
mice of NSG, 4–6 weeks old, were randomly selected and used in this
study for intracranial injection.

Subcutaneous Tumor Grafting in NSG Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSG (NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ) mice were purchased from Jackson laboratories. Mice were group-housed (up to 5 per cage) in individually ventilated cages with ad libitum access to food and acidified water (pH 2.5 to 2.8) in a temperature (22.2 ± 0.5 °C) and humidity (30–70%) controlled facility with 12/12-h light/dark cycle. The animal care and use program is accredited by AAALAC. All animal experiments were approved by the Weill Cornell Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. For all mouse studies, mice of either sex were used, and mice were randomly allocated to experimental groups, but blinding was not performed. Mice (aged 5–8 weeks) were age-matched for tumor inoculation. Group sizes were selected on the basis of prior knowledge. For subcutaneous grafting, sgCtrl, sgK#1 or #2-transduced Saos2 cells were resuspended in 50% Matrigel (BD Bioscience, #356231) in PBS and ~5,000,000 cells were injected into each flank of NSG mice. Tumor growth was monitored and measured every 7 days by caliper, and volume was calculated by the formula: V=4π3*a2*b2*c2 (V tumor volume; a tumor length; b tumor width; c tumor height). The endpoints were determined on the basis of the level of animal discomfort and tumor sizes. The maximum allowable tumor size is 20 mm in diameter.
