Summary

The authors developed a method of obtaining blood (nonhemolyzed serum) from the caudal blood vessels of white mice in amounts sufficient for serological and immunological examinations. A glass bulb was connected to a suction motor to reduce the pressure. This method permits systematic and repeated blood drawing (3.1–3.9 ml of blood from 10 mice)-5 times at intervals of 2–5 days. Blood drawing performed by method does not affect the condition of the mice and permits them to be used for other investigations.
