Core Tip
Core tip: Severe acute cholangitis (SAC) is a severe biliary tract infection. Although mice are the most common experimental animal and have a similar anatomical construction of bile ducts to humans, there is still no valid study on establishing a SAC model in mice. To study SAC more easily and exactly, we established a repeatable and reversible mouse model of SAC through cholecystic catheterization under the condition of bile duct ligation.
