Collection Summary: | Animals The Boston Children’s Hospital IACUC approved all experiments involving mice in this study. Adult CD-1 male and female mice and pregnant CD-1 dams were obtained from Charles River Laboratories. Sprague Dawley rats were purchased from Charles River Laboratories. Animals were housed in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room (70 ± 3 °F, 35–70% humidity) on a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle (7 a.m. on 7 p.m. off) and had free access to food and water. All animals younger than postnatal day 10 were al-located into groups based solely on the gestational age without respect to sex (both males and females were included). For studies involving rodents older than 10 days, sex was treated as a variable. Serum and CSF collection CSF was collected from the cisterna magna of adult (≥ 3 months old) or embryonic (E14.5) wild-type CD-1 mice. Independent samples (n) were defined as independent animals for adult samples, and as a CSF pool from all embryos in a single litter for embryonic CSF samples. Samples were maintained on ice, then spun 1000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected and used for analysis. Blood was collected from cardiac puncture, allowed to clot for 10 minutes at room temperature, spun at 500 × g for 10 min at room temperature. The supernatant serum was collected and used for analysis. |
