Transcript
In the described mouse silicosis model generated by intra laser infusion of crystal silica dust, all CSD suspension several times simulated the occurrence and development of human silicosis to a large extent. This method is time saving and level s

This protocol describes a method for establishing a mouse model of silicosis through repeated exposure to silica suspensions via a nasal drip. This model can efficiently, conveniently, and flexibly mimic the pathological process of human silicosis with high repeatability and economy.
