显微外科核心将提供动物移植模型的专业知识和质量控制， 项目由Tellides，Pober，Min和Bender的程序。核心单位将作为一个中心资源，利用人类动脉移植模型在免疫缺陷小鼠嵌合体，已在耶鲁大学开发 大学将双突变型严重联合免疫缺陷（SCID）/米色小鼠用人或人免疫缺陷小鼠移植。 合成动脉，并随后用人的过继转移进行免疫重建。 白细胞和/或用人细胞因子如种特异性Th 1因子、干扰素-γ （IFN-γ）。白细胞或细胞因子与移植物血管细胞的相互作用导致免疫介导的 替代人类实验模型中的动脉损伤。此外，各种小鼠受体 将品系与小鼠主动脉段移植，以利用小鼠遗传模型的能力， 补充人体组织数据。显微外科核心还将开发和调整动脉移植物 根据项目要求建立模型，例如，开发Rag 1突变大鼠受体以研究重塑 在人心外膜冠状动脉的较大的主要分支中。所有四个项目都将得到 显微外科核心。显微外科核心的目标是：1）提供复杂的小动物 移植模型给项目研究者; 2）开发新的方法来改进或适应 体内模型; 3）为血管和 移植生物学人动脉-SCID/beige小鼠移植模型的方法学是 相对复杂，需要共享设施和特殊技能。显微外科核心人员 在所需技术方面的丰富经验及其综合专业知识对于确保 模型的一致性和规模经济。通过向所有的研究者提供动脉移植模型， 项目，显微外科核心将在这个计划中发挥关键作用。

The Microsurgery Core will provide expertise and quality control over animal transplantation models for Projects by Tellides, Pober, Min, and Bender of the program. The core unit will serve as a central resource to utilize the human artery transplantation models in immunodeficient mouse chimeras that have been developed at Yale University. Double-mutant severe combined immunodeficient (SCID)/beige mice are grafted with human or synthetic arteries and are subsequently immunologically reconstituted with an adoptive transfer of human leukocytes and/or are treated with human cytokines, such as the species-specific Th1 factor, interferon-gamma (IFN-y). The interactions of the leukocytes or cytokines with the graft vascular cells results in immunemediated arterial injury in a surrogate human experimental model. Additionally, various mouse recipient strains are grafted with mouse aorta segments to take advantage of the power of murine genetic models to supplement the human tissue data. The Microsurgery Core will also develop and adapt the artery graft models according to Project requirements, e.g. developing a Rag1 mutant rat recipient to study remodeling in larger primary branches of human epicardial coronary arteries. All four projects will be supported by the Microsurgery Core. The aims of the Microsurgery Core are:1) to provide the complex small animal transplantation models to the Program investigators; 2) to develop new methods for improving or adapting the in vivo models; and 3) to provide a microsurgery training resource for investigators in vascular and transplantation biology. The methodology of the human artery-SCID/beige mouse transplantation model is relatively complex and requires shared facilities and special skills. The Microsurgery Core personnel have extensive experience with the required techniques and their combined expertise is essential to ensure consistency of the models and an economy of scale. By providing the artery graft models to all of the projects, the Microsurgery Core will play a key role in this program.
