Example of use in the creation of asthma model mice (#4-DF-003 Dust mite (Df) extract (for immunological use))
Experimental examples of #4-DF-003, House Dust Mite Extract For Immunization (Df)
Experiment on the generation of HDM-induced airway inflammation model mice using BALB/c.
Immunization schedule
Mouse : Female BALB/c mice, 6‒8 weeks old

- Mice were administered intranasally with 25 µg as total protein of House Dust Mite Extract For Immunization (Df) (Df extract) on days 1, 8 and 15.
 - Mice were challenged intranasally with 5 µg as total protein of Df extract on days 22, 23 and 24.
 - 24 hours after the last intranasal dose, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung histopathology, airway hyperresponsiveness, and pulmonary cytokine production were assessed.
 
Cell counts in BAL fluids

Pathological findings of the pulmonary bronchi

Results may vary depending on your experimental environment, techniques, and mouse condition.
Experiment on the generation of asthma model mice using C57BL/6.
Immunization schedule
Mouse : Female C57BL/6 mice, 6‒8 weeks old

- House Dust Mite Extract For Immunization (Df) was administered intranasally to the mice at a total protein content of 30 µg once every 2 to 3 days for a total of 7 times.
 - 24 hours after the last intranasal dose, BALF, lung histopathology, airway hyperresponsiveness, and IL-13 mRNA expression in the lung were assessed.
