Treatment ID:TR003256
Treatment Summary:Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; E. Coli serotype 00:55 B5 LPS (Sigma Lot nr. 025M4040V)) was diluted to the final concentration (0.02 µg/µl) in double distilled pyrogen-free water (Chem-Lab, Zedelgem, Belgium). In the morning of GD 17, the pregnant mice were semi-randomized into control and LPS treatment groups (denoted Ctrl and LPS, respectively), evenly distributing weights among the groups. Out of 80 mice in total, 74 were pregnant. Animals were placed in a whole-body inhalation chamber with an attached anaesthetic vaporizer (Penlon Sigma Delta, Abingdon, UK), delivering 3-4% isoflurane in filtered air, and were intratracheally instilled with 50 µl of vehicle (Ctrl) or 1 μg LPS in 50 µl vehicle, followed by 200μl of air. Vehicle and LPS were administered through a 0.58 mm polyethylene tube (Ref: 427411, Becton Dickinson, Brøndby, Denmark) attached to a plastic syringe. The procedure has been shown not to affect gestation, offspring viability nor growth75. After instillation, animals were returned to their cage, briefly placed on heating pads and checked upon regularly until euthanization
