AGED RODENT TISSUE BANK

美国国家老龄研究所（NIA）通过签订合同，为老龄大鼠和小鼠的研究提供支持。一些研究人员不需要活体动物，而只是简单地从动物身上收集特定的组织用于他们的实验。本项目的目的是从老年大鼠和小鼠的NIA菌落中提供适合多种实验方案的新鲜冷冻组织来源。这将允许多个研究人员使用来自同一动物的不同组织，并将降低这些研究人员的组织成本。

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports through contracts several colonies of aged rats and mice for use in research on aging. Some investigators do not need live animals, but simp Iy collect specific tissue from the animals for their experiments. The purpose of this project is to provide a source of fresh-frozen tissue, suitable for multiple experimental protocols, from the NIA colonies of aged rats and mice. This will allow multiple investigators to make use of different tissues from the same animals, and will lower the cost of tissue for those investigators.
