Spinal Analyses in Diabetic NOD Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female NOD mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) at 8 weeks of age and were housed in a specific pathogen-free animal facility until some of them spontaneously developed diabetes. Spines and IVDs were isolated from NOD mice and age-matched female euglycemic mice (19–22 weeks of age) for analyses. DM in NOD mice was confirmed by consecutive blood glucose monitoring (see below). All the experiments were approved by the University of Pittsburgh Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Transgenic Mouse Models for Diabetes Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experimental protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Dallas Veterans Administration Medical Center, University of Utah, or Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). Institutional guidelines for animal care and use were followed. With the exception of NOD mice, all mice were bred in-house with constant temperature on 12-h light cycles. PANIC-ATTAC experiments were performed on male or female mice beginning at 9 to 14 wk of age (17 (link), 27 (link)). Female NOD mice (The Jackson Laboratory) were maintained in-house beginning at 8 wk of age. Transgenic mice, with two autosomal copies of the RIP-DTR transgene (22 (link)), in which DTR expression is driven by the RIP, were previously backcrossed onto the NSG background (28 (link)) for more than 10 generations, resulting in the NSG-DTR mouse maintained at VUMC (29 (link)).

NOD Mouse Diabetes Progression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female NOD mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Farmington, CT USA) and maintained in a pathogen free animal facility at Joslin Diabetes Center. Diabetes was tracked by measuring their morning blood glucose levels suing a Contour® Blood Glucose Meter (Bayer) once a week every week. Mice were considered diabetic after two consecutive days of blood glucose levels being greater than 200mg/dl (Dirice et al., 2014 (link)). A total of n=4–9 mice per group were used and divided into 5 groups: 3 weeks (n=5), 8 weeks (n=5) and 12 weeks of age (n=4), new onset diabetes (1–2 weeks after onset; n=9) and established diabetes (5–6 weeks after onset; n=8). The pancreases of these animals were harvested and sectioned for immunohistochemical analyses (Dirice et al., 2014 (link)).

Murine Model for Cancer Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female C57BL/6 mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratories. Female NOD mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratories and bred in-house. Animal studies were conducted following a protocol approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at the University of Utah. The group sizes of mice were determined and approved by the regulatory authorities for animal welfare after a balanced consideration of statistical and scientific needs and ethical aspects. All procedures related to animal studies are in compliance with relevant ethical regulations on animal research at the University of Utah. The EL4 and B16-F10 (abbreviated as B16 cells) cell lines were purchased from the ATCC and maintained in DMEM medium with 10% FBS.

Female NOD mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME) at age 4 weeks. Female NOD-SCID animals were purchased from Jackson Laboratories at age 10-14 weeks. Throughout the study, animals were monitored weekly for blood glucose concentration utilizing a Contour blood glucose meter (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany).

NOD mice vaccine against type 1 diabetes

Female NOD mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME, USA) and maintained in specific pathogen free facilities at the University of Florida. All animal experimental procedures were conducted in accordance with protocols approved by the University of Florida Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. A cohort of 8-week old Female NOD mice was divided into two treatment groups (n = 10/group). Experimental groups were as follows: Hydrogel (GM-CSF/CpG) + insulin MPs; Hydrogel (GM-CSF) + empty MPs; and a no treatment control. The vaccine formulations were administered at 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age. Per injection, a total volume of 100 μL was administered, providing the following doses of each component: GM-CSF (40 ng/injection); CpG (10 μg/injection); PLGA MPs (5 mg/injection); 1% hydrogel solution (91 μL/injection). Vaccine formulations were injected at the subcutaneous dorsal neck region. Blood glucose levels were measured once per week with a OneTouch® Ultra® 2 blood glucose meter (Lifescan, Inc., Milpitas, CA, USA). If the value was higher than 250 mg/dL for two consecutive days, the animal was considered to be diabetic and withdrawn from the study.

NOD Mice Diabetes Induction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female NOD mice, 5 weeks of age, were purchased from Jackson Labs (Bar Harbor, ME). All mice were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions in the Northwestern University Center for Comparative Medicine and maintained according to protocols approved by the Northwestern University Animal Care and Use Committee (Chicago, IL). NOD mice were treated with CNPs (2.5 mg/dose in 200 μL sterile saline) on the specified days. Blood glucose levels were measured in Female NOD mice with UltraTRAK Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System weekly starting at the 6 weeks of age. Mice with two consecutive readings at or above 250 mg/dL were determined to be diabetic.

Hoechst dye 33342 was from Invitrogen (Basel, Switzerland).
Isolation, culture and dissociation of primary islet cells Mouse pancreatic islets were isolated from female NOD mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA), male NOD severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice (Janvier Labs, Le Genest-Saint-Isle, France) and C57BL/6 mice (13-14 weeks old; Charles River Laboratories, L'Arbresle, France). All animal procedures were performed in accordance with the National Institutes of Health guidelines and protocols were approved by the Swiss research council and veterinary offices. Mice islets were isolated by collagenase digestion [23] of the pancreas followed by Histopaque density gradient separation. Details about islet handling are provided in electronic supplementary material (ESM) Methods.

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.
