Dissection of cecum in donor mice

Cecum is isolated from the gastrointestinal tract by performing a horizontal dissection at the junction between the cecum and the ileum, and between the cecum and colon, as indicated by the green dotted lines. The dissection section of the gastrointestinal tract should be within 0.5 cm of the cecum. A longitudinal incision is performed on the cecum (black dotted lines) for cecal material collection. Image of the mouse gastrointestinal tract is adapted from (Treuting et al., 2018).
