FOUNDATION COLONY FOR MOUSE REPOSITORY

要求承包商保持老鼠繁殖/屏障 为校内研究人员提供近交系和同类系 从NIAID不易获得用于研究的小鼠品系 在免疫学和传染病方面。的最新发展 转基因技术，包括基因靶向，开辟了一个新的， 细胞生物学的激动人心的时代。这些工具使科学家们能够 探索单个基因产物的重要性和作用机制 并建立人类疾病的动物模型。

The Contractor will be required to maintain a mouse breeding/barrier facility to provide intramural investigators with inbred and congenic strains of mice not readily available from the NIAID for use in research in immunology and infectious diseases. The recent development of transgenic techniques, including gene targeting has opened up a new and exciting era in cell biology. These tools are allowing scientists to explore the importance and mechanism of action of individual gene products in vivo and to create animal models for human diseases.
