实验动物资源共享 实验动物共享资源的主要目的是提供资源和 为Kimmel创建和分析癌症动物模型的环境 综合癌症中心。这种共享资源提供住房和高质量的维护和 照顾实验动物。该设施还提供小动物手术方面的技术专业知识， 化学和放射试剂的管理。设施的一个关键组成部分是维护 高质量的屏障设施，以产生特定的无病原体环境，确保准确 对实验结果的解释。群体内的健康监测计划确保了 设施。自1977年以来，动物共享资源一直保持着AAALAC的全面认证。该设施是 作为部分屏障系统运行，其中所有动物都被关在无菌微隔离笼子中。这个 设施由29个动物室组成，以及必要的笼子和食物储存区，一个专门的 验尸室，还有隧道笼式洗衣机。共享资源始终保持最高 专业水平和熟练程度大大提升了癌症中心成员的工作水平。

LABORATORY ANIMAL SHARED RESOURCE The primary purpose of the Laboratory Animal Shared Resource is to provide the resources and environment with which animals models of cancer can be created and analyzed for the Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. This shared resource provides housing and high quality maintenance and care for laboratory animals. The facility also provides technical expertise in small animal surgery, administration of chemical and radiological reagents. A critical component of the facility is the maintenance of a high quality barrier facility to generate a specific pathogen free environment that ensures the accurate interpretation of experimental results. The in-colony health surveillance program ensures that fidelity of the facility. The Animal Shared Resource has maintained full AAALAC accreditation since 1977. The facility is operated as a partial barrier system in which all animals are housed in sterile microisolator cages. The facility is composed of 29 animal rooms, along with the requisite cage and food storage area, a dedicated necropsy room, and a tunnel cage washer. The shared resource has consistently maintained the highest level of expertise and proficiency greatly enhancing the work of the cancer center members.
