What does the Transgenic Facility do?
The Transgenic Facility routinely prepares transgenic mice and mice with targeted mutations for University of Kansas Medical Center investigators. These animals can be used to study gene function, expression, regulation, to develop animal models of human disease, to establish cell lines from specific cell types transformed in vivo, to produce mice with tissue-specific inducible gene expression or tissue-specific gene deletions, plus many, many more possibilities. Feel free to stop by with an idea and have our experience help guide you with your experiment. We also derive specific pathogen free mice from pathogen infected mice. We provide hands-on training for individuals in transgenic technology. We offer cryopreservation of fertilized mouse eggs for investigators who wish to stop breeding a line and retrieval of cryopreserved stocks.
