Abstract:
Mice that die at any stage of a mutational analysis, whether during early life or during ageing or longitudinal studies such as tumor survival studies, can yield important information. This protocol provides a necropsy guide for the collection and processing of tissue samples to provide material for complete histological or immunostaining analysis.
