Mouse models offer unique opportunities to study mammary gland biology and lactation. Phenotypes within the mammary glands, especially those caused by genetic modification, often arise during lactation, and their study requires the collection of adequate volumes of milk. We describe two approaches for collecting milk from lactating mice. Both methods are inexpensive, are easy to use in the laboratory or classroom, are non-invasive, and yield adequate volumes of milk for subsequent analyses.
小鼠模型为研究乳腺生物学和泌乳提供了独特的机会。乳腺内的表型，特别是那些由基因修饰引起的表型，通常在泌乳期间出现，因此需要收集足够量的乳汁进行研究。我们描述了两种从泌乳小鼠中收集乳汁的方法。这两种方法都很便宜，易于在实验室或课堂上使用，是非侵入性的，可以为后续分析提供足够量的乳汁。
