ICR Mouse Husbandry Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eight-week-old, specific-pathogen free (SPF), male ICR mice were acquired from Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., LTD (Beijing, China). All mice were bred in the Life Sciences animal facility of China Agricultural University in a temperature-controlled (20°C) facility with a 12-h light/dark cycle and received a standard chow diet containing 18% protein, 4% fat, and 5% fiber ad libitum with free access to clean water. The feed and water were changed every morning to keep them fresh. Each group of mice was bred in separate cages. All animal studies were approved by the Ethical Committee of the College of Animal Science and Technology of China Agricultural University, and all subjects gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Establishment of Glioma-Bearing ICR Mouse Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ICR mice (male, 18–20 g) were purchased from Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). All animals received care in compliance with the guidelines in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. All procedures were approved by Xuzhou Medical University of China Animal Care and Used committee.
Glioma-bearing ICR mice were prepared by intracranial injection (striatum, 1.8 mm right lateral to the bregma and 3 mm of depth) of 1 × 105 C6-Luci cells suspended in 4 µL of L15 medium into male ICR mice (Li et al., 2014 (link); An et al., 2015 (link)). After 7 days of xenograft glioma, nude mice were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10) and housed in a controlled temperature room with regular alternating cycles of light and darkness.

The C57BL/6 male mice (20 to 22 g, 6 to 8 weeks), DBA/1 male mice (21 to 22 g, 8 to 10 weeks), Balb/C mice (21 to 23 g, 6 to 8 weeks), ICR mice (22 to 25 g, 8 to 10 weeks), and SD rats (180-200 g, 6 weeks) were all purchased from the Beijing HFK Bioscience Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China). Animals were housed five per cage at room temperature of 22° ± 2°C in specific pathogen–free conditions under a 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle, with food and water provided ad libitum. All animal experimental procedures used in this study were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College (approval no. 00005958). The animal study also accorded with the Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE) guidelines.

Establishing Xenograft Tumor Model in Nude Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Balb/C nude mice (4-5 weeks) and ICR mice (5-6 weeks) were purchased from the Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., Ltd. All animals received care in compliance with the guidelines outlined in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. The procedures were approved by the Hefei University of Technology Animal Care and Use Committee. To establish a BxPC-3 tumor model, Balb/C nude mice (4~5 weeks) were injected with 5×106 cells with 20% BD gel into the right side of the back. After the tumor volume reached 100 mm3, the mice were used for subsequent experiments.

Mouse Housing and Care Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult male ICR mice between the ages of 8 to 10 weeks were purchased from Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., Ltd. After admission to the Animal Experimental Center of Hebei Medical University, mice were permitted a recovery period of at least seven days in isolation room. After confirming that the mice were healthy, they will be transferred to the feeding room to wait for the experiment. All animals were housed randomly in groups of four in IVC mouse cages under SPF housing conditions with food and water ad libitum. The ambient temperature was set at 20–22°C, humidity at 50–60%, dark/light cycle at 12 h/12 h (lights on at 20:00 p.m. and off at 08:00 a.m. All experiments were approved by the Local Committee on Animal Care and Use and Protection of Hebei Medical University and performed in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals guidelines.

Six-week-old male ICR mice were purchased from Beijing Huafukang Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Beijing, China. The mean animal weight was 22 ± 2 g. The animals were raised in a specific pathogen-free environment at room temperature (22°C) and relative humidity of 50%, with lights on between 06:00 to 18:00 hours. The mice were provided food and water ad libitum; each cage (25 × 15 × 18 cm3) housed five mice. The study received ethical approval from the experimental animal center of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (the ethical approval code: XYXKJing2019-0019).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Equal numbers of adult male and female ICR mice (n = 48; 8 weeks of age) weighing 20-22 g were obtained from the Beijing HFK Bioscience Co., Ltd., and used in the study. The animals were housed in a polyacrylic cage with four mice per cage and maintained under standard housing conditions (22 °C ± 2 °C and humidity 50 % ± 5 %) with a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle. Food and water were available ad libitum. All efforts were made to minimise the number of animals and their suffering throughout the experiments. The food was withdrawn 16-18 h prior to the surgical procedure. All animal studies were performed in strict accordance with the P. R. China legislation on the use and care of laboratory animals and the guidelines established by the Institute for Experimental Animals at Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (131/2010; approved on November 1, 2011).

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.
