An improved procedure for obtaining germ-free laboratory mice.
The economy of time and effort accruing from the use of laminar air-flow cabinets to obtain germ-free mice has already been established. However, a further modification of the technique, utilizing small intermediate isolators, has made it possible to transfer to the large, recipient isolators only those litters which are viable and demonstrably free from contamination.
