Hepatocellular Injury Model in Immunodeficient Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SCID Beige mice (Charles River) were chosen as animal model. These mice are characterized by severe immunodeficiency affecting B and T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells.
To evaluate the intrahepatic diffusion of cells after transplant, 1.0 × 106 untreated or AEM1-treated cells were labeled with DIR immediately before intrasplenic injection47 (link). Migration of transplanted cells from the spleen to the liver was detected after 30 min and after 24 h by the In vivo F-PRO (Bruker). The presence of transplanted HepaRG cells was also evaluated in the explanted spleen and liver after 4 weeks.
The day after HepaRG cell transplantation, liver injury was induced by administration of an anti-Fas monoclonal Ab (Jo2/CD95, BD Bioscences), once weekly for 4 weeks. Mice were divided in the following groups:

Controls, transplanted with vehicle (n = 4);

Transplanted with untreated HepaRG cells (n = 4);

Transplanted with AEM1-treated HepaRG cells (n = 4).

At the end of the fourth week, animals were killed, the blood drawn, and the livers excised to be frozen at −80 °C; some liver samples were fixed in 4% formalin for histopatology and immunohistochemistry. Hepatocellular necrosis was assessed by measuring the serum level of AST and ALT, respectively.

In Vivo Bioluminescence Imaging of rOC43-ns2DelRluc Replication in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
rOC43-ns2DelRluc replication in mice was evaluated by BLI with an In Vivo F Pro (Bruker Daltonik, Bremen, Germany). Prior to imaging, rOC43-ns2DelRluc-infected mice were injected intraperitoneally with Renilla luciferase substrate (20 μg/g; Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and anaesthetized with isoflurane. After 5 min, mice were placed on a light-tight camera box stage under continuous anesthesia, imaged (acquisition time: 4 min), and the signals were quantified using Bruker molecular imaging software (Bruker).

Tracking Tumor Xenograft Regression

Example 9

1×106 8505c-FLuc+GFP+ cells were injected into NSG mice via tail vein. 2-3×106 primary human T cells were injected via tail vein 7-15 days after tumor cell injection. Luminescence imaging of tumor xenografts in live mice was performed using a whole body optical imager (In-Vivo Extreme 4MP, Bruker). Mice were first anesthetized with 3% isoflurane at 2 L/min O2 and subsequent to this, maintained at 2% isoflurane at 2 L/min O2. Growth or reduction in tumor burden was estimated by integration of luminescence over the lungs or the entire mouse body. Ex-vivo fluorescence imaging of mouse liver, lungs, spleen and resected tumors were performed using a whole body optical imager (In-Vivo F Pro, Bruker).

Xenograft ATC Model for Metastasis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal studies were approved by Weill Cornell Medicine’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. 8–10-week-old female and male NOD-scidIL2Rgnull (NSG) mice (Jackson laboratory) were used for xenograft experiments with ATC cells. GFP and fLuc-expressing 8505C (0.75×106 cells per mouse) and patient-derived ATC cells (0.36×106 cells per mouse) were i.v. injected to establish systemic metastasis establishment (28 (link)). Longitudinal measurements of 8505C tumor burdens were taken using a whole-body optical imager (In-Vivo Xtreme 4MP, Bruker) 15 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of 100 µl of 150 µg/ml D-luciferin (GoldBio). Total tumor burden was measured by generating full body region of interests (ROIs) and integrating total flux of luminescence using Bruker Analysis software. GFP-expressing livers, spleen, heart, and lungs were extracted from mice and imaged with a whole-body optical imager (In-vivo F-Pro, Bruker). To track ICAM-1-CAR T cells expressing rLuc, mice were injected i.v. with 100 µl of RediJect Coelenterazine H (Perkin Elmer) and then immediately imaged using the In-Vivo Xtreme 4MP (Bruker).

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.
