Abstract:
Procurement of mouse tissues or organs is essential for complete verification of almost any phenotype. A proper necropsy can yield information that is difficult to obtain by limited biopsy or surgical intervention. The protocol described here is for a limited autopsy involving the thorax and abdomen only, and does not include all organs.
