Generating a Reproducible Model of Mid-Gestational Maternal Immune Activation using Poly(I:C) to Study Susceptibility and Resilience in Offspring
Capítulos
- 00:04Introduction
- 00:48Baseline Immunoreactivity (BIR) Testing
- 01:56Tail Bleed Method for Blood Collection
- 03:23Weight Based Method for Mating and Gestational Embryonic Day 12.5 Injection
- 05:34Investigation of Alterations in Behavior in Adult MIA and Control Offspring (Optional)
- 06:35Results: Investigating Susceptibility and Resilience of Offspring to Maternal Immune Activation
- 08:15Conclusion
Maternal infection is a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders. Mouse models of maternal immune activation (MIA) may elucidate infection's impact on brain development and function. Here, general guidelines and a procedure are provided to produce reliably resilient and susceptible offspring exposed to MIA.
