Which types of samples are requested for the Bernese Mountain Dog Repository at MSU?
We are collecting cheek swab samples, blood samples, and frozen tumor samples for the Repository here at Michigan State University. We are also encouraging diagnostic pathology for formalin-fixed tumor samples. Formalin-fixed tumor samples should be shipped to the Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health (DCPAH) here at MSU or a diagnostic laboratory of your veterinarian’s choice. For consistency purposes, we encourage the submission of diagnostic samples to the Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health at Michigan State University.
