DESCRIPTION
- High-standard, high-security animal (BSL3) facilities for mice housing (235 cages)
- Facilities suited for experimental animal infection, anesthesia, microsurgery, histopathology of infected tissues functional or phenotypic analysis, culture of euka/prokaryotic cells
- State-of-the-art imaging equipment within BSL3 facilities for monitoring physiological parameters and functional exploration of the immune and pathogen response:
- Multiparametric flow cytometry and cell sorting systems
- Live microscopy at the cellular (spinning disk microscope) and whole organ levels (multiphoton microscopy)
- Thin sections of live infected tissues (vibratome technique)
- Types of provided services:
- Pay-for-use: customer has a full access to the facility
- All inclusive: platform runs the experiments based on customer’s full specifications
- Top-up expertise: specific advice on any part of the study
APPLICATIONS
- Test of vaccine or drug efficacy against BSL2 & BSL3 pathogens in vivo
- Determination of the phenotype and functions of cell populations (prokaryotic & eukaryotic) directly harvested from infected or vaccinated animals, withoutthe need for chemical/physical inactivation
- Histopathology
- Live imaging of infected cells and tissues
