ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a mouse model of exogenous iron overload combined with tuberculosis(TB). Methods C57BL/6N mice were divided into negative control, low-, medium-, and high-dose iron groups and received intraperitoneal injection of iron dextran at 0, 3.75, 7.50, and 15.00 mg/dose(3 times/week for 4 weeks), respectively.After 4 weeks, the organ morphology and body weight of the mice were evaluated.The content of serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, and transferrin receptor was determined by ELISA.Heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and small intestine were analyzed for tissue iron content and iron deposition pathology.
