THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on December 6,2022. Core facility that provides the following services: Mouse breeding service, Behavioral testing procedures service, Mouse breeding. Three of the MARC''s research components (5, 6, and 8) include experiments with lines of mice bred to have special genetic traits. The animal core supports these components by purchasing, testing, breeding, maintaining, and distributing these animals within the center. The core will breed special mouse lines F1 and F2 that are descendents of C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) inbred strains. For Components 5 and 6, the animal core will also produce independent sets of replicated mouse lines selected for high and low tendencies toward methamphetamine drinking and for high and low methamphetamine-induced sensitization. In addition, the core is developing new behavioral-testing procedures and maintaining a database that will track individual animals and post their trait data for all MARC investigators to utilize.

The core facility includes the IVIS Spectrum optical imaging camera housed in a light-tight housing, rat and mouse imaging platforms for multi-subject simultaneous acquisition, an integrated inhaled anesthesia system, and advanced analysis software. A key component of the IOIC is the ability to operate either independently or under the guidance and supervision of core personnel. Independent use of the system requires that investigators undergo training that is offered every 2 months or on an ad hoc basis. All analysis will be charged on an hourly basis and is graduated according to the level of service (independent or supervised).

Core facility that provides the following services: Clinical study support services. The Office of Human Subject Recruitment and Protection (OHSRP) provides consultation and guidance to the Penn research community on all issues related to adult and pediatric human subjects being seen through the CTRC facilities, including recruitment and protection. The role of the OHSRP is to champion the mission of the feasible, safe and ethical conduct of human subject research within the CTRC. The original Research Subject Advocate (RSA) was a position mandated by the National Center for Research Resources under the NIH and was defined in order to ensure that research was being conducted in ways that did not increase the risk associated with conducting studies. In April 2008, the CTSA Consortium Steering Committee approved and endorsed best practices, which serve to define the mission, scope, and model for research advocacy within the CTSA consortium. The OHSRP has advanced the role of the Research Subject Advocate (RSA) by adopting the 2008 best practices defined by the CTSA Consortium. The OHSRP operations are complementary to and integrative with existing entities at the institution to promote and facilitate safe and ethical conduct of human research. The OHSRA complements the University of Pennsylvania Office of Human Research (OHR) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) in support of ensuring the safety of individuals participating in health research. The OHSRP serves as a resource to the research community and to participants; has a voice in policy regarding research ethics, participants? rights, and research safety; and plays a role in the protection of human subjects and responsible conduct of research educational programs of the institution. The OHSRP has direct access to, an authority that can temporarily suspend a research activity based on ethical and safety concerns so that problems can be explored or resolved through proper procedures. This capacity enables preliminary intervention into problems that might not necessarily invoke an institutional review board (IRB) suspension. The OHSRP has a reporting pathway to institutional officials of appropriate authority and is free of conflict of interest.

The Penn Gene Targeting Service (PGT) is run by the Penn Gene Targeting Core and Laboratory in collaboration with two other Penn Cores (DNA Sequencing Facility and the Transgenic and Chimeric Mouse Facility) and has the capability to generate from scratch almost any type of genetically modified mouse. This includes complete knockout of any gene, tissue-specific and/or drug-inducible knockout of any gene, targeted mutagenesis of any region of any gene (knockin), tissue-specific activation of an endogenous gene using loxP flanked stop cassettes, and tissue-specific and/or drug-inducible transgene expression from defined loci. For details regarding services and prices please consult the PGT home page of the Department of Genetics and/or directly contact Dr. Tobias Raabe. The Client lab does not need to be involved in any experimental step and only needs to breed the resulting mice. However, if desired, participation of the client lab in almost any experimental step is possible. PGT has an outstanding record of germ line transmission and so far over 32 targeted mice - more than 12 in the desirable C57BL6 background - have been made, starting either with molecular design and construction of the targeting vector or with electroporation of an existing targeting vector into ES cells.
