Assessing Inflammatory Disease at Mucosal Surfaces in Murine Genetic Models

Engelman, R. W., Kerr, William G.·2012·Methods in Molecular Biology

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of the mucosal surfaces are rising worldwide and particularly in the Western world that is witnessing unprecedented increases in the number and incidence of both asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. The laboratory mouse allows the application of the full panoply of modern genetic, immunological and biochemical tools to increase our understanding of how inflammation arises and how it might be controlled at mucosal surfaces. Here we provide a detailed description of how to systematically assess inflammatory disease in the lung and intestines of the laboratory mouse. We provide histopathology examples from SHIP mutant mice that are the only known genetic mutant to suffer from pulmonary consolidation, asthma, and Crohn's disease. The intent of this chapter is to facilitate increased surveillance of mucosal inflammation in studies where the laboratory mouse is utilized so that we can better understand the cell types, genes, and microorganisms that contribute to mucosal inflammatory disease and thereby develop more effective therapies and preventive strategies.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In vivo animal models possess limitations: species-specific differences between animals and humans cause differences in drug efficacy and toxicity tests in physiology and cell biology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
