WNPRC RESEARCH SERVICES DIVISION

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。研究服务副主任负责监督灵长类动物中心五个服务单位的活动。一如既往，不同单位的组织和存在继续充满活力，并响应调查人员和前沿科学的需求。2005年，这五个单位包括化验、遗传学、病理学、病毒学和免疫学以及集中方案执行服务。变化包括将遗传学部分从免疫遗传学和病毒学中移出，将图书馆服务移到新成立的信息服务中。这两项行动都表明，每一股的服务取得了成功，而且需要日益增加。就遗传学服务处而言，当遗传学资源的活动成为免疫遗传学和病毒学服务处的一部分时，其技术和用户基础迅速扩大。鉴于该股活动的增加，显然需要一个独立的股首长，于是任命了一个。同样，信息技术的扩展和对中心信息技术的使用也需要形成信息服务，本文件其他地方有详细说明。CPI服务组继续扩大，并在行政部门负责人于7月退休后顺利过渡，取而代之的是一位拥有动物行为学博士学位的前殖民地经理。2005年，化验和病理服务部门的主要设备采购从主要开发状态转为全额退款状态。Assay Services的高压液相色谱系统用于测量内分泌学研究中低浓度的多种类固醇，并用于发育研究中进行肽鉴定。病理学单元的共聚焦系统，包括4个可见光激光器和脉冲近红外激光器，用于多光子激发，被干细胞研究者和发育生物学家以及艾滋病研究者越来越多地利用

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Associate Director for Research Services oversees activities in the Primate Center¿s five service units. As always, the organization and presence of different Units continues to be dynamic, and responsive to the needs of the investigators and cutting edge science. In 2005 the five Units consisted of Assay, Genetics, Pathology, Virology and Immunology, and Centralized Protocol Implementation (CPI) Services. Changes include moving the Genetics portion out of Immunogenetics and Virology and moving Library Services to the newly formed Information Services. Both moves indicate the success and increasing need for the services of each Unit. In the case of the Genetics Service, the technology and user base expanded rapidly when the activities in the Genetics Resource became part of the Service Unit of Immunogenetics and Virology. Given this increase in Unit activities, it became apparent that an independent Unit Head was needed, and one was appointed. In a similar manner, the expansion of information technology and use of the same in relation to the Center required formation of Information Services, the description of which is detailed elsewhere in this document. The CPI Service Unit continues to expand, and had a smooth transition when the administrative Unit Head retired in July and was replaced by a former colony manager with a doctorate degree in animal behavior. In 2005 both Assay and Pathology Services had major equipment purchases move from primarily developmental to full chargeback status. The high-pressure liquid chromatography system in Assay Services was used to measure multiple steroids in low concentrations for endocrinology studies and perform peptide identification for developmental studies. The Pathology Unit¿s confocal system with 4 visible light lasers and the pulsed near infrared laser for multiphoton excitation is being increasing utilized by stem cell investigators and developmental biologists as well as AIDS investigato
