This protocol results in minimal injection mortality and allows dose correlated measurements of fecundity. Medicine Automated Measurement of Pulmonary Emphysema and Small Airway Remodeling in Cigarette Smoke-exposed Mice Maria E. Laucho-Contreras1, Katherine L. Taylor1, Ravi Mahadeva2, Steve S. Boukedes3, Caroline A. Owen1,4 1 The goal of this protocol is to provide automated methods to quantify chronic lung pathologies in a murine model of COPD. The protocol includes exposing mice to cigarette smoke (CS), measuring pulmonary function, inflating the lungs, and using morphometry methods to measure emphysema and small airway remodeling in mice.
