We will provide hands-on assistance with the following services and training:
- Consultation on the design and development of project-specific GEMMs, including conventional, Cre-inducible, doxycycline-inducible, and conditional mutant mice.
- Guidance for producing and validating mouse models, including transgene construction, verification, genotyping, and GEMM production; screening; breeding, strain establishment, and validation.
- In vivo manipulation, including transgene induction protocols, UV irradiation, induction of skin inflammation by exogenous agents, bleomycin-induced fibrosis, and orthotopic xenografts and allografts.
- GEMM phenotyping, including proper tissue collection and processing; morphologic, biochemical, and molecular characterization; cross-species validation; and establishment of GEMM-derived primary cultures and immortalized cell lines, taking into consideration key experimental variables including body site, gender, and age.
