> A cage of 5 mice costs ~$1k upfront and ~$5k/yr recurring

You can get mice a lot cheaper than that, I'm not sure what kind of mice he's referring to but the prices depend on the vendor and mouse type.

Where I work it's about $2 a day to house a cage of 5 mice. It's about $30 a mouse if you get C57BL/6NJ's from Jackson: https://www.jax.org/strain/005304

So more like $150 for 5 mice and $800 to house for a year.

Another good one to know if the size of antibodies (10-12 nm).



Is that in the article? I didn't see that. Where is that from?


Wrong article?
