Directions For Use:


This package contains sufficient antisera to induce disease in at least 25 rats when used according to the instructions below. Please read carefully before starting the procedure.

Injection of anti-GBM serum:  Anesthetize rat(s). Inject .4 ml/100 gm body weight of anti-GBM serum into a tail vein as a bolus over a 15 second period (Larger volumes are required for heavier rats). Allow the rat to recover and return to cage. Production of disease is dose dependent. For a more fulminant disease inject more volume of antibody. Doses over 1.5 ml/rat are not recommended. It is important that the complete dose of antibody is delivered iv. If the investigator is not experienced with tail vein injections, we recommended a number of practice injections in sham rats before going forward antibody experiments.
