Mouse Housing and Breeding Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animal experiments were approved by UCSF Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Animals were housed in communal cages in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment with 12 hour light/dark cycle and provided standard rodent chow and water ad libitum. Wild-type female CD1 mice were bred in the UCSF Laboratory Animal Resource Center. Female C3H/HeJ mice, which have a spontaneous mutation in TLR4 (Tlr4lps-d) and their control background C3H/HeOuJ mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, Maine).

Female C3H/HeJ mice 4–6 weeks of age were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). C3H TLR2−/− mice at the N6 generation backcross were generously provided by Dr. Linda Bockenstedt (Yale University) and these were fully backcrossed onto the C3H/HeJ background (N10) in our colony. Animals were given sterile food and water ad libitum and housed in a specific pathogen-free facility. All works were done in accordance with the Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Missouri.

Induction of Alopecia Areata in Female C3H/HeJ Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Female C3H/HeJ mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory and were maintained under pathogen-free conditions and a 12-h light/dark cycle at an ambient temperature of 22 to 26 °C. Female mice were used because like numerous other autoimmune disorders (93 (link)), AA has a slight female predominance (94 (link), 95 (link)). This female predominance is observed in the skin-graft C3H/HeJ mouse model of AA (96 (link)), in which the literature reported that 95 to 100% of grafted Female C3H/HeJ mice developed AA, whereas the incidence was 30% in male C3H/HeJ mice (23 (link), 96 (link)). To induce AA in C3H/HeJ mice, we grafted full-thickness skin (approximately 1 cm in diameter) from donor mice with established disease onto 8- to 10-wk-old naive syngeneic recipients, as previously described (3 (link)). Animals were housed and all experiments were performed in compliance with institutional guidelines as approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Columbia University.

Female C3H/HeJ mice (The Jackson Laboratory) were used in these experiments. Animals were 8–12 weeks of age and maintained/bred in The La Jolla Institute for Immunology vivarium under specific-pathogen-free conditions in accordance with guidelines of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International and animal studies were approved by The La Jolla Institute for Immunology Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Female C3H/HeJ mice (Jackson Laboratories, USA), 5 weeks old at arrival, were randomly allocated to groups (n = 11–13) and housed on Nestpack bedding (Datesand Ltd, Manchester, UK), 3–5 mice in each cage. The Harlan Teklad 2018 rodent diet and tap water were given ad libitum. The mice were exposed to a 12/12 h light/dark cycle, room temperature (RT) of 21 +/− 2 °C and 55 +/− 10 % humidity. The experiment was performed in conformity with the laws and regulations for live animals in Norway, and approved by the Norwegian Animal Research Authority under the Ministry of Agriculture (FOTS ID 4534).

Bone marrow cells were isolated and harvested from the femur, tibia, and humeri of 6–8 week-old C3H/HeJ female mice (Jackson laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME), as previously described (22 (link)) with the Hospital for Special Surgery’s (HSS’s) Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved protocol (#2016-0039). Bone marrow cells were differentiated into BMDMs with α-Minimum Essential Medium (α-MEM; Life Technologies) supplemented in 10% FBS, 1% penicillin and streptomycin, and 10% (equivalent to 140 ng/ml CSF-1) conditioned media from the CSF-1 over-producing cell line CMG (22 (link),23 (link)) or TCM from cultured LM8 or NFSa for five days until confluent.

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.
