Isocage p bioexclusion system

Manufactured by Tecniplast
Sourced in Panama

The ISOcage P - Bioexclusion System is a laboratory equipment designed to provide a contained and controlled environment for animal housing. It functions by creating a physical barrier to prevent the entry or exit of microorganisms, ensuring a high level of biosecurity and environmental isolation for the animals within.

Germ-Free Mouse Breeding and Maintenance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at the University of Florida (UF) and performed at UF Animal Care Facilities (IACUC Protocol #201909606). Colonies of germ-free mice were bred and maintained in isolators by UF Animal Care Services Germfree Division. Mixed gender germ-free wild-type (GF-WT) C57BL/6 mice were transferred from breeding isolators and placed into the Techniplast ISOcage P Bioexclusion system to allow for microbial manipulation [7 (link), 8 (link)]. Cages were sterilely changed every 2 weeks per Techniplast protocol and supplied with autoclaved food and water.

C57Bl/6 mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories and maintained in specific-pathogen free conditions inside Emory’s Gnotobiotic Animal Core (Atlanta, GA). Mice were orally gavaged every day with LGG, BC, or HBSS for 2 weeks, and kept inside an ISOcageP Bioexclusion system (Techniplast, West Chester, PA) maintained in a Biosafetly level 2 (BSL-2) facility. Upon killing, flash-frozen whole colons were given to RayBiotech, Inc (Peachtree Corners, GA) for protein extraction and cytokine analysis using the Quantibody Mouse Cytokine Array Q4000 (Raybiotech).

Hamster Model for Viral Infection

Three-week-old female Syrian hamsters were provided by Janvier Labs. Animals were maintained in ISOcage P - Bioexclusion System (Techniplast) with unlimited access to water/food and 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle. Animals were weighed and monitored daily for the duration of the study to detect the appearance of any clinical signs of illness/suffering. Virus inoculation was performed under general anesthesia (isoflurane). Organs and blood were collected after euthanasia (cervical dislocation) which was also realized under general anesthesia (isoflurane).

Syrian Hamster Care and Handling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three-week-old female Syrian hamsters were provided by Janvier Labs (SPF status). Animals were maintained in ISOcage P - Bioexclusion System (Techniplast) with unlimited access to water/food and 14h/10h light/dark cycle. A wooden gnawing block and extra bedding material was provided as cage enrichment. Animals were weighed and monitored daily for the duration of the study to detect the appearance of any clinical signs of illness/suffering. General anesthesia was obtained with isoflurane (Isoflurin®, Axience). Euthanasia, which was also realized under general anesthesia, was performed by cervical dislocation.

Female Syrian hamsters aged 3 weeks were provided by Janvier Labs. Animals were maintained in ISOcage P ‐ Bioexclusion System (Techniplast) with unlimited access to water/food and 14 h/10 h light/dark cycle. Every day, animals were weighed and monitored for the duration of the study to detect the appearance of any clinical signs of illness/suffering. Virus inoculation was performed under general anesthesia (isoflurane). Lungs and blood were collected after euthanasia (cervical dislocation) which was also carried out under general anesthesia (isofluorane).

Cecal Transfer Modulates Colorectal Tumorigenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 50 mg of cecal contents from each mouse was pooled from NC101-colonized DSS/Apcmin/+ mice treated with PBS or anti-TNF antibody in a type B vinyl anaerobic chamber (Coy Laboratory, 032714), resuspended in 10 ml of reduced sterile PBS and kept in sealed tubes on ice until gavage. Germ-free Apcmin/+ mice (12–18 weeks old) were transferred from breeding isolators to individually ventilated cages on the IsoCage P Bioexclusion System (Techniplast) and supplied with autoclaved water and food. After 1-week acclimation, mice were inoculated with 200 μl of freshly prepared cecal content slurry by single oral gavage. At 10 d after gavage, mice received 1.5% DSS (molecular weight 40 kDa, Alfa Aesar, J63606; filter-sterilized) for 1 week. Mice were then kept on autoclaved regular drinking water for 4 weeks before euthanasia. Stools and cecal contents were collected using sterile tools at indicated time points.

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.
