Do you do mycoplasma and pathogen testing on each individual gene trap clone?
The parental R1 cell line, MEFs , LIF and FBS lots were all tested in 2001 and we have the documentation for those. You can download an electronic version of the results by clicking here. The gene trap clones are not retested individually. In 2007, we pooled 5 clones for testing and the test results were all negative. The Canadian Mouse Mutant Repository, the distributor of CMHD clones, and the Transgenic Core and Specialty Resources, both located at the Toronto Centre for Phenogenomics, offer clone expansion and pathogen testing services. Details of these services can be found at their web site (http://www.cmmr.ca/services/index.html).
