我们感谢Myka Estes博士坚持不懈地解决小鼠MIA模型中的变异性，并感谢Estes等人8的所有贡献者所做的工作 ，这些工作导致了此处描述的方法方案的开发。这里报告的研究得到了NIMH 2P50 MH106438-06（AKM）和NIMH T32MH112507（K.P.）的支持。

所有方案均在加州大学戴维斯分校机构动物护理和使用委员会（IACUC）的批准下进行。

母体感染会改变人类以及啮齿动物和非人灵长类动物的大脑发育过程4，5，7。在这里，概述了使用poly（I：C）在妊娠中期时间点诱导小鼠MIA的程序。该方法结合了怀孕前对BIR的评估，这增加了可重复性，并提供了机械地研究导致后代对MIA8的弹性和易感性的机制的机会。MIA后，来自中等BIR组的母体（IL-6水平在?...

流行病学证据将母体感染与精神和NDD的风险增加联系起来，包括精神分裂症（SZ）和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）1，2，3，4，5，6，7。开发MIA小鼠模型是为了测试MIA在这些疾病的病因中的因果关系和机制作用，以及鉴定分子生物标志物并开发诊断和治疗工具4，6。尽管该模型具有实用性并且越来越受欢迎，但该领域内MIA诱导方案存在相当大的差异，因此难以比较研究之间的结果并重复研究结果8，9。此外，该模型的大多数迭代都没有研究MIA的两个重要翻译方面：（i）许多后代对MIA具有弹性，以及（ii）易感后代可以表现出表型8的不同组合。
为了生成可重复的MIA模型，研究人员应报告至少一个关于大坝中诱导的MIA幅度的定量测量。为了在妊娠期间诱导MIA，我们的实验室进行腹膜内（ip）注射双链RNA病毒模拟聚肌醇：聚胞苷酸[poly（I：C）]。 Poly（I：C）诱导类似于流感病毒的免疫级联反应，因为它被toll样受体3（TLR3）10识别。结果，poly（I：C）激活急性期反应，导致促炎细胞因子8，11，12快速升高。先前的研究表明，由于MIA11，12，13，导致后代的行为异常和神经病理学，包括白细胞介素-6（IL-6）的升高是必要的。因此，在注射聚（I：C）后2.5小时达到峰值期间收集的母体血清中IL-6水平是MIA的一种令人信服的定量测量方法，可用于比较该领域内实验室的结果。
为了生成一个MIA模型，通过单一诱导方案解决弹性和易感性的翻译基本要素8，14，研究人员可以将典型的诱导方法与怀孕前大坝基线免疫反应性（BIR）的特征相结合8。最近，发现处女雌性C57BL / 6小鼠在怀孕前对低剂量暴露于poly（I：C）表现出广泛的IL-6反应8。只有这些雌性中的一个子集继续产生易感的后代，并且仅在BIR和poly（I：C）剂量8的组合所决定的一定程度的免疫激活下。MIA 以倒 U 型诱导表型;当DAM具有中等免疫反应性时，后代表现出最大的行为和分子畸变，并且母体炎症的程度达到但不超过临界范围8。本文提供了一种详细的方法，说明如何可靠地创建具有不同行为表型的弹性和易感后代，这些后代是由于妊娠中期注射poly（I：C）的结果。

generating a reproducible model of mid-gestational maternal immune activation using poly(i:c) to study susceptibility and resilience in offspring

怀孕期间的母体免疫激活（MIA）始终与后代神经发育和神经精神疾病的风险增加有关。MIA的动物模型用于测试因果关系，研究机制，并开发这些疾病的诊断和治疗方法。尽管它们被广泛使用，但许多MIA模型缺乏可重复性，并且几乎都忽略了该风险因素的两个重要方面：（i）许多后代对MIA具有弹性，以及（ii）易感后代可以表现出不同的表型组合。为了提高可重复性并模拟对MIA的易感性和恢复力，雌性小鼠在怀孕前的基线免疫反应性（BIR）用于预测哪些怀孕将导致有弹性的后代或暴露于MIA后具有明确行为和分子异常的后代。本文提供了在妊娠12.5天时通过腹膜内（ip）注射双链RNA（dsRNA）病毒模拟物poly（I：C） 诱导 MIA的详细方法。这种方法在大坝中诱导急性炎症反应，导致小鼠大脑发育的扰动，这些扰动映射到人类精神和神经发育障碍（NDD）中类似受影响的结构域。

并非所有在E12.5暴露于30mg / kg聚（I：C）的动物都会产生具有一致行为异常的后代8，31。尽管 30 mg/kg 和 40 mg/kg 的聚（I：C） 都能可靠地在大坝中产生疾病行为，包括活动水平降低、体温过低和体重减轻，并且还会导致 IL-6 显著升高，但只有一部分暴露于 MIA 的窝产仔会继续在类似于人类精神病学和 NDD 中观察到的领域出现行为异常（图 3A-...
