Staff perform the microinjections and transfer the embryos to pseudo-pregnant females.
The mothers and pups are maintained until the animals have been weaned and screened. Technical expertise in the screening of the pups for the presence of the transgene is provided. Finally, guidance in the subsequent breeding and management of the transgenic mice, as well as consultation on how to analyze the expression and effects of the transgene are provided. The Core can assist investigators with obtaining, maintaining and using available strains. This last year the core has been used by many of the investigators in the research community.
