Proteome characterization of used nesting material from group housed male mice, Mus musculus

ABSTRACT: In summary, we present the first proteome characterization of used nesting material from group housed male mice. It is commonly suggested to preserve used nesting material throughout cage changes to preserve the cage level olfactory environment and this study provides quantitative evidence to support this practice. Used material contains a large assortment of proteins, many of which contain identification information. Maintaining these important cues as mice are placed into new environments gives them a sense of familiarity and may promote positive social interactions throughout the life of the cage.
