Core--Human Tissue and Pathology- Shared Resource

十多年来，人体组织和病理核心一直是KCI的重要设施。Core为KCI的研究人员提供了数千份研究所需的人体组织样本。根据人类调查委员会和HIPPA的既定规则，Core设施负责采集、储存和转移用于调查目的的新鲜和冷冻人体组织样本。此外，一个完整和准确的病理诊断，包括分期和分级参数可用于收集的子集；辅助研究已经完成，并且可以访问。随着激光显微解剖系统和组织的获得，这些功能最近得到了扩展

The Human Tissue and Pathology Core has been an essential facility of the KCI for more than a decade. The Core provides investigators in the KCI with thousands of human tissue samples necessary for research purposes. The Core facility is charged with harvest, storage, and transfer of fresh and frozen human tissue samples for investigative purposes, within the established rules of the Human Investigation Committee and HIPPA. In addition, a complete and accurate pathological diagnosis including staging and grading parameters is available for subsets of the collection; ancillary studies are performed and are accessible. These functions have expanded recently with the acquisition of a laser microdissection system and tissue microarray construction equipment and the incorporation of additional services such as case identification by diagnostic categories with the ability to retrieve pathology material from Pathology Department files, histology processing, and immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. Multiple funded investigators in the Proteases and Cancer, Breast Cancer, Developmental Therapeutics, Popluation Studies and Prevention, and Molecluar Biology and HumanGenetics Programs utilize the services of the Core and have scientific collaborations with Core investigators.
