Hooke Kit™ Chicken Collagen/CFA Emulsion
For induction of CIA in DBA/1 mice
Supplied in pre-filled syringes, ready to use. This product is intended to
be used together with Hooke Kit™ Chicken Collagen/IFA Emulsion (EK-0211). _240px.jpg)
- Consistently induces arthritis in 100% of both male and female DBA/1 mice
When used with the recommended protocol, about 30% of mice develop arthritis within 16 to 20 days, and the remainder within 30 to 35 days of immunization. Most mice reach disease severity of 10 to 14 (on scale 0 to 16).
Each batch is extensively tested and individually adjusted to ensure consistent disease induction. This kit is tested on both Taconic and JAX mice.
- Eliminates tedious preparation of emulsions
Properly prepared emulsions are critical for reliable induction of many autoimmune disease models. Our emulsions are carefully made and pre-filled into syringes, ready to use, to reduce time needed to set up experiments.
- Saves time and mice in testing individual reagents
Batch-to-batch reagent variations can cause dramatic changes in severity of induced autoimmune disease. The consistent potency of pre-characterized Hooke Kits™ eliminates time-consuming testing.
- Reduces your mouse facility’s exposure to pathogen contamination
Pre-filled syringes are prepared under aseptic conditions and delivered in sterilized plastic bags for easy disinfection before introduction into your mouse facility.
