In this video, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis is established using experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The mouse is injected with an emulsion containing a neuronal peptide and an adjuvant, triggering an immune response that activates autoreactive T cells. This is followed by an injection of pertussis toxin (PTX) to increase blood-brain barrier permeability, allowing the autoreactive T-cells to infiltrate the brain. This infiltration initiates a signaling cascade that...

This video describes the procedure to induce two-stage skin carcinogenesis to study tumor initiation by topical application of chemicals. In the first step, a mutagen, DMBA, is applied onto the skin of a mouse model which initiates tumor formation by causing mutations in the stem cells, followed by the application of a growth stimulator, TPA, which accelerates skin papilloma formation.

FAQs
The initiating insult determines which aspects of renal dysfunction become most visible. Ischemia, toxic exposure, infection, and other defined challenges can impair tubular cells, disrupt filtration, or activate inflammatory signaling in different combinations. Selecting among these triggers allows investigators to connect a particular cause with downstream kidney injury and immune responses.
Tubular-cell damage provides a direct link between the initiating insult and impaired renal function. When tubular integrity is affected, filtration can become disrupted, creating measurable evidence of dysfunction alongside cellular injury. Evaluating both processes helps distinguish structural damage from the broader inflammatory signaling that may accompany experimental AKI.
Inflammatory signaling can link a local kidney insult to broader immune activity. Cytokine production and recruitment of innate immune cells provide indicators of how the host responds, while systemic inflammation may intensify or accompany renal injury. Examining these relationships helps clarify whether immune activation is associated with the severity and progression of dysfunction.
A study begins by selecting a defined injury stimulus that matches the biological question, such as ischemia, toxic exposure, infection, or another controlled challenge. Investigators then examine kidney injury together with inflammatory and immune responses. Comparing these outcomes identifies how the selected insult affects tubular cells, filtration, cytokines, and host defense.
An infection-focused design is useful when the research question concerns interactions between pathogens and renal dysfunction. It can support examination of host responses, cytokine production, and recruitment of innate immune cells during infection-associated injury. This context helps investigators distinguish pathogen-related immune effects from kidney changes produced by other defined insults.
These studies can connect functional kidney changes with mechanisms of inflammation and host defense. Depending on the design, investigators may evaluate cytokine production, innate immune-cell recruitment, pathogen-related responses, and biomarkers associated with injury. The resulting information can guide analysis of disease mechanisms and the evaluation of potential therapeutic interventions.
