Immunocompetent, 5 to 9 week old C57BL/6 mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Animals were housed on Alpha-dri™ paper bedding (Shepherd Specialty Papers, Watertown, TN, USA) in micro filter-topped cages (Ancare, Bellmore, NY, USA) in a specific pathogen-free facility with ad libitum access to food and water. The study described was performed in accordance with the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare guidelines and was approved by the North Dakota State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
Micro filter topped cages
Manufactured by Ancare
Sourced in United States
Micro filter-topped cages are a type of laboratory equipment designed to provide a controlled environment for small animals. They feature a micro-filtered top that helps maintain air quality and prevent the introduction of contaminants. The core function of these cages is to create a secure and hygienic enclosure for housing and observing small laboratory animals.

Male and female C57BL/6J mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Sacramento, CA, USA) and housed in the colony in Langseth Hall at Minnesota State University Moorhead (Moorhead, MN, USA). The mice were housed with sex- and age-matched mates, in microfilter-topped cages (Ancare, Bellmore, NY, USA), under constant room temperature, in a 12 h light/dark cycle, and were fed ad-libitum. All inhalational exposures were initiated in mice at 6 weeks of age. All protocols were in accordance with MSUM’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC protocol#19-R/T-BIO-030-N-N-B) guidelines.
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.
