Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR001802
Treatment Summary:Radiation was performed on mice intracranially injected with the NCH1681 cell line. Mice were irradiated with a total of 12Gy; specifically, animals were treated on Monday and Friday for 2 consecutive weeks at 3Gy/session. Radiation was performed in a Pantek machine an orthovoltage radiotherapy unit. The mice were anesthetized with a cocktail of ketamine/rompun/saline mixture, i.e. ketamine (100mg/ml), rompun (20mg/ml) and diluted with saline to give the mice a 100mg/kg dose of ketamine and 10mg/kg rompun. The mice were injected with the cocktail at a dose of 0.01 µL per gram of half of the mouse’s body weight. Animals were then placed in a custom-made jig. During radiation, lead shielding covered the eyes, ears, the oral cavity, and the spinal cord. After radiation, the mice were given atipamezole, a reversal agent, to aid in the recovery.
