This protocol describes the different steps to establish a murine model of restenosis after angioplasty of a stenotic arteriovenous fistula (AVF), including a detailed description of the partial nephrectomy procedure to induce chronic kidney disease, the AVF procedure for development of de novo stenosis and the angioplasty treatment associated with progression of restenosis.
Goblet cell–associated antigen passages can deliver luminal substances to antigen-presenting cells to induce antigen-specific T cell responses. This protocol describes how to identify and quantify intestinal epithelial cells that have the capacity to take up luminal substances, by intraluminal injection of fluorescent dextran, tissue sectioning for slide preparation and imaging with fluorescence microscopy.
