A Vapor Exposure Model for Neonatal Mice

Sulfur mustard (HD) is a vesicant compound that was first used as a chemical warfare agent in World War I. (Papirmeister et al. 1991). Numerous animal models have been used to study HD-induced vesication. In this article, we describe modifications of the vapor cup model of Mershon and colleagues (1990) to establish a new vapor cup model for use in neonatal mice. The need to develop this model resulted from the development of gene-targeted...
