Intracerebroventricular Injection in Mouse: An Ommaya Mediated Direct Drug Administration Method to Deliver Drugs to Cerebral Ventricles of Mouse Brain
Overview
This video demonstrates ommaya mediated intracerebroventricular injection in a mouse model. The method enables localized delivery of potential drug candidates and evades the blood-brain barrier.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board.
1. Murine Ommaya Assembly and Implantation
- Preparation of station
- Disinfect the station surface. Place a blue covering over the surface and keep ready all sterilized tools and supplies indicated in Figure 1.
- Presurgical procedure
- Apply analgesia (Bup-SR).......
