This protocol describes the application of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) for imaging mouse cervical lymph nodes. This technique optimizes visualization and quantification of cervical lymph node morphology, volume and blood flow. Image-guided biopsy of cervical lymph nodes and processing of lymph tissue for histological evaluation is also demonstrated.

The cuff technique shortens and facilitates the model of heterotopic cervical heart transplantation in mice by avoiding technically challenging suture anastomoses of small vessels. The technical details shown in this video paper should allow researches to establish this model in their laboratories.
FAQs
The broom’s flexible bristles conform to the cervical surface while rotation brings them into contact with two sampling areas: the ectocervix and the endocervical canal. This combined contact allows epithelial cells from different cervical regions to be collected in one sampling action. The resulting specimen can then be examined for cellular findings relevant to screening.
Sampling both regions matters because epithelial cells from either area may display findings associated with infection, precancerous change, or malignancy. Contact with both surfaces provides a broader cellular representation than sampling only one region. This increases the likelihood that the collected material will support an informative cytological examination and appropriate clinical interpretation.
After collection, the material may be placed directly on a microscope slide or transferred into a liquid-based cytology vial. These are alternative specimen-handling routes before laboratory analysis, rather than different cell-collection mechanisms. In either case, the collected cervical material is prepared for cytological examination and assessment of cellular abnormalities.
During collection, the device is positioned against the cervical opening, rotated so the bristles contact both the ectocervix and endocervical canal, and then the material is transferred to a slide or liquid-based cytology vial. The prepared specimen proceeds to laboratory examination, where its cellular content can be assessed for clinically relevant abnormalities.
Proper use depends on positioning the bristles at the cervical opening and rotating them across both sampling regions rather than treating collection as contact with a single surface. Appropriate transfer to a microscope slide or liquid-based cytology vial also matters because the collected material must reach laboratory analysis in a form suitable for cytological examination.
Laboratory findings from the collected epithelial cells can indicate infection, precancerous changes, or malignancy. In screening, these results may support earlier recognition of cervical abnormalities and help guide follow-up clinical care. The device therefore contributes to a pathway that links specimen collection with cytological assessment and subsequent clinical management.
