The exposure system consisted of a cylindrical parallel plate with mice restrained in clear Perspex tubes arranged radially around a dipole antenna. A forced air supply was maintained through the cylinders to ensure no heat build-up, and there was no rise in core body temperature.

A sham-exposed group and a non exposed, freely moving, cage control group without handling or further confinement were also included. In a positive control group, mice were given Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxin.
