Abstract

This video describes the procedure for generating an air pouch in the subcutaneous tissue of mice and collecting inflammatory exudates in response to lipopolysaccharide administration in vivo. This video also covers the analysis of the neutrophil infiltration in the air pouch.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Air pouch assay First air injection On day 0, fully anesthetize mice with 5% isoflurane for 3 min in a gas anesthesia chamber at a speed of 2 L/min, and maintain the anesthesia of each mouse in a single breathing unit with 2% isoflurane at a speed of 0.5 L/min. NOTE:…
Representative Results
